Sushant Singh Rajput’s Suicide Case: Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aditya Chopra record contradictory statements

Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aditya Chopra were recently summoned by the Mumbai Police regarding Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Reportedly, Bhansali was quizzed about his association with Sushant. It was reported that Sushant was dropped out of two big films, ‘Ramleela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, directed by Bhansali. When the filmmaker was questioned about it, he denied dropping the actor from any of his films. Reports stated that Bhansali approached Sushant for ‘Bajirao Mastani’ but was told by YRF that Sushant’s dates are unavailable because he was busy with their upcoming production that was ‘Paani’ helmed by Shekhar Kapur. It further stated that the film got shelved due to creative differences between Kapur and Chopra.

As per a report by IANS, YRF chairman Aditya Chopra said in his statement that Yash Raj Films was “not” approached by Bhansali for permission to let Sushant work in ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Aditya also said in his statement that YRF had allowed Sushant to sign ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, which means they allowed Sushant to work outside their production house.

Reports also stated that Bhansali told Mumbai Police that he had approached Sushant for ‘Padmaavat’ too. He also reportedly offered another film to Sushant but it didn’t happen.
