Sushant Singh Rajput is still a part of Shekhar Kapur’s magnum opus Paani. Since the film has been delayed once again, rumours were rife that the Pavitra Rishta actor wasn’t happy with the development and therefore, backed off from the project.However, that’s not the case. How do we know, you ask? Well, Sushant’s spokesperson has released an official statement rubbishing all the reports about him quitting Kapur’s directorial venture.
The statement read: “We were very amused to read speculations that Sushant Singh Rajput is not in Paani due to a variety of absurd reasons. There is absolutely NO truth to it. Sushant keeps a low profile and let’s his work speak for itself. He has recently completed Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and is deep in preparations for Paani given the scale of the film. We’ll shortly also be making some exciting announcements on his new projects.”
Now that we all know Ankita Lokhande’s beau is still playing the lead in Paani, let’s hope the film goes on floor soon without any further delay. Or else we really won’t be surprised if SSR actually part ways with Shekhar Kapur and his film.
