Recently Nikhil Anand, filmmaker said he will be making a biopic on Sushant Singh Rajput and that it will have a nationwide release in 2022. He also said that will be financed by common public funding and also have a social media page. People and celebrities have reacted to this news and are appalled by such a quick announcement that is clearly meant to cash on his death. Filmmaker Ananath Mahadevan
Tribute to Sushant today at 12 Pm
Is it a film based on assumptions? Will they claim it to be a true story or will the mandatory disclaimers be out? Why are we so eager to exploit a tragedy that hasn’t even sunk in? Are there no other subjects to film? I guess terror tourism and tragic hero-ism are sitting ducks in show business. God bless us!” Sources say the family just wants a proper closure to Sushant’s death. Shekhar Suman who has been battling for a CBI probe into Sushant’s death feels the idea of a film on Sushant’s life too close to the tragedy to be distasteful. “This is not in good taste. The vultures are there to suck every drop of blood. Let’s not sensationalize and trivialize Sushant’s death. Wait! There will be plenty of opportunities to make a film. Not on this one. Not yet.”
