Mumbai Police writes to Yash Raj Films asking for contract copy with Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide has let the cat out of the bag. It is said that Yash Raj Films lobbied and ganged up with privileged stars and producers against Sushant. Due to their conspiracy, he lost many movies. Also, it is known to all of us that Yash Raj Films was to produce ‘Paani’ that was to be helmed by Shekhar Kapur. Sushant gave 11 months for the movie out of which three months he prepped for it. But later, the movie got shelved and earlier in an interview even Sushant revealed that Yash Raj didn’t allow him to sign others. Also, after the death of Sushant, Shekhar Kapur revealed that the former cried a lot when the producers backed out of ‘Paani’.

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh announced that the Mumbai Police would investigate reports that professional rivalry might be the reason that Sushant took his life. As per a report in Indian Express, the police on Thursday wrote to Yash Raj Films (YRF), asking for a copy of a contract they had signed with Sushant.

A senior Mumbai Police officer said that they want to know the nature of the contract with YRF and how many films Rajput was to do with them. Sushant worked with YRF productions in two movies-‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ and ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!’. Also, there are reports that Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered Sushant ‘Ram Leela’. Also, he was offered ‘Befikre’ but YRF didn’t allow him to do.

Meanwhile, police have recorded the statements of Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, Mukesh Chhabra, his father and his three sisters.
