Shekhar Kapur on Sushant’s Death: I Know The People Who Have Let You Down

Mumbai: Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur wanted Sushant Singh Rajput to play the lead role in his ambitious project ‘Paani’. However, the film didn’t materialize as the producers pulled out.

Grieving the untimely death of one of B-town’s most promising actors, Shekhar stated that he was aware of the people who had let the actor down and caused him pain.

“I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish I was around, the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput,” tweeted Shekhar Kapur.

Remembering Sushant, Shekhar said that he was ‘an old wise soul in a restless young body’ and the world was not the way he perceived it.

“Dear Sushant, there was so much more you had to offer. Perhaps the world was not up to your beliefs.. you should not have gone like this …but then you were an old wise soul in a restless young body. Often the heavens cannot handle that ..” wrote the filmmaker.
