Sushant Singh Rajput's love story with Rhea Chakraborty to be turned into a film. Who may play the deceased actor's role?
Even years after his tragic passing, the memory of Sushant Singh Rajput continues to linger in the hearts of those who knew and admired him. His charm, restlessness, and infectious energy left an indelible mark—especially on filmmaker Rumi Jaffery , who now plans to honour Sushant's life in a way few expected: by telling the love story he shared with actress Rhea Chakraborty . According to reports in the Deccan Chronicle, Rumi, a veteran scriptwriter known for iconic Bollywood hits like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, and Biwi No.1, shared his emotional recollection of Sushant's vibrant presence—his energy, his unpredictability, and the calming role Rhea often played beside him. According to Rumi, the bond between the two wasn't just romantic—it was deeply intense and unforgettable. Who may portray Sushant Singh Rajput in the movie? The project is currently in its scripting stage. While no actor has officially been cast, reportedly, The Archies star Vedang Raina is being considered to portray Sushant. About Rhea Chakraborty Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty once reflected on her journey of healing, highlighting that recovery is a gradual process with no shortcuts. Rhea faced intense public scrutiny and personal trauma following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, and has been steadily rebuilding her life. Some time back, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially cleared her and others of any involvement in Sushant's death, filing a closure report that found no evidence linking them to the case. In 2020, Rhea and her brother Showik were arrested in connection with a drug-related case that emerged during the investigation. Since then, she has kept a low profile while slowly returning to work and focusing on personal growth. Now back in the public eye, Rhea appears on the new season of MTV Roadies and has been making strides with her creative ventures, including her fashion label 'Chapter 2' and a podcast. Her latest social media posts reflect a renewed sense of purpose and strength as she enters what she calls her 'Chapter 2.' The actress marked her debut in Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti and later starred in films like Sonali Cable, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi and Chehre.

Umesh Shukla Breaks Silence On PK Vs OMG Rumours: ‘Sab Afwayein Thi'
Last Updated: Umesh Shukla clarified that while there were conceptual similarities, the claims of being paid off by the makers of PK to shelve his own project was baseless. Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal starrer OMG – Oh My God! was widely loved by the audiences. But there was considerable buzz around its striking resemblance with Aamir Khan's PK. Now, years after the release, director Umesh Shukla has addressed long-standing rumours surrounding the two films, including speculation that he was paid off by the makers of PK to shelve his own project. In a candid interview with Friday Talkies, the director clarified that while there were conceptual similarities, the claims are baseless. He went on to say that people speak about Oh My God!'s similarities with PK, but if PK had released before my film, they might have said the opposite. 'I think they might've had a similar idea in mind. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani, and writer Abhijat Joshi had all seen my play. So, when someone works on a similar subject, there's bound to be some reflection. If you're making a love story and someone says 'I love you' in that film, well, of course they will, it's a love story," he added. In the same conversation, he addressed the rumours that he was offered Rs 8 crore by the PK team to not proceed with OMG. Umesh said, 'Uss time afwah thi ki PK mein Vidhu Vinod Chopra sahab jo the unhone mujhe 8 crore offer kiye the film nahi banane ke liye. Par wo sab afwayein thi. Aesa kuch hua nahi tha (At that time, there were even rumours that Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who was part of PK, gave me Rs 8 crore to not make the film. But that was just gossip, nothing like that actually happened)." He further elaborated, 'Wo apne aap mein itne talented log hai. Rajkummar Hirani sahab, Abhijat, Vidhu Vinod Chopra sahab, Aamir Khan sahab, sab log itne talented hainn ki wo itni unchi harkat karte hi nahi the paisa dene ke liye. Yeh sab uchli thi uss samay par aisa kuch nahi tha (They are all incredibly talented individuals—Rajkumar Hirani sir, Abhijat, Vidhu Vinod Chopra sir, Aamir Khan sir. They are way above doing something so petty as offering money to stop a film. These were just talks that floated around back then, but there was no truth to it)." Previously, responding to the allegations, Rajkumar Hirani denied offering any money back then. He had told Deccan Chronicle, 'Please call Umesh Shukla and ask him or call Paresh. This is absurd, how can someone say something like this." Aamir Khan, who was also present during this conversation, had added, 'It's all lies…fabricated. You should be very careful about what you believe." Released in 2012, OMG – Oh My God! starred Akshay Kumar as Lord Krishna. The film struck a chord with both audiences and critics for its storyline and powerful performances. The film's successful run at the box office paved the way for a sequel, OMG 2. It was released in 2023, with Pankaj Tripathi taking on the lead role. First Published: June 14, 2025, 12:05 IST

Salman Khan once broke his 'no-kissing' policy for THIS actress, not Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Katrina Kaif, her name is...
Salman Khan once broke his 'no-kissing' policy for THIS actress, not Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Katrina Kaif, her name is... Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has maintained a strict no-kiss policy. In his 35-year old long career, the actor never shared an intimate scene with her female co-star, even if he was in a relationship with them during the filming. Well, seems like, Salman Khan broke this code long-back in one of his films. A photo resurfaced on Reddit shows that the Sikandar actor had done a lip-lock scene with one of his most popular co-stars Karisma Kapoor. The two collaborated in seven films including Judwa, Biwi No.1, Jeet, Chal Mere Bhai, Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge. A user while sharing the picture of the moment, pointed out that Salman did break his no-kiss policy. As soon as the picture went viral, netizens took to the comment section to share their reactions. Users had gone into discussion and many pointed out that it could be an accidental moment. A user wrote, 'They'are actually not kissing He's kissing the side of her chin. Her head is turned the other way.' Another wrote, 'This maybe accidental.' While few are manifesting to see them back together on-screen, 'When will they reunite?', one said, 'I want to see them pairup together.' In 2017, there were rumours that Salman was asked to kiss his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif in Tiger Zinda Hai. However, he allegedly denied. Apparently, a source claimed that director Ali Abbas Zafar tried to persuade him a lot, but still his answer remained a 'no.' 'Everyone felt that just this one time, just once, Salman would break his no-kissing code because the sequence is vital to the plot and also because, well, it's Katrina. But Salman refused outright. Director Ali Abbas Zafar tried his best to convince him. However, nothing worked. The scene has been dropped now,' a source close to Deccan Chronicle revealed at the time. Meanwhile, on the professional front, the actor has reportedly taken some time off the film sets, before collaborating with his close-friend Sanjay Dutt for action film Ganga Ram . He also may be reuniting with director Sooraj Barjatya for Prem Ki Shaadi and with Shah Rukh Khan in Tiger Vs Pathaan. Moreover, he also has a film with Atlee which has been delayed.
