Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was supposed to work with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in his movie, “Paani.” Unfortunately, the movie was shelved and the reason hasn’t been disclosed yet. Sharing an unseen picture from his research for the movie, Shekhar wrote, ” Shot 12 years ago. Part of huge bank of #Paani research pics/illustrations. The film script is about a future city where the wealthy take all the water. And then use water as a weapon of political and social control. It’s a cautionary tale of what’s coming if we’re not careful.”

Earlier, he even expressed that if this movie were to be made, he’d like to dedicate it to Sushant Singh Rajput. He took to twitter to write about it.
Have a look :
If you want to journey with the Gods, or your creativity, you have to walk each step in devotion. In humility. God willing #Paani will get made one day. If it does, I will dedicate it to Sushant. But it has to be made with partners that walk in humility, not in arrogance. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/pWzTt04IbK

Sushant’s demise had a large impact on the industry as well as his fans. Many celebrities were summoned by Mumbai Police to record their statement. Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was also one of the people who were summoned. As he was outside the city, he emailed the statement to the police. Even after considering the email, the Police are waiting for him to return and clarify the statement.
On July 24, Sushant’s last movie ‘Dil Bechara‘ was premiered on Disney+Hotstar. Directed by Mukesh Chhabra, it also stars Sanjana Sanghi. The movie is available to all subscribers as well as non-subscribers.
