“Had I been offered Befikre, I wouldn’t have done it,” Sushant Singh Rajput breaks his silence!

Sushant Singh Rajput is flying high after his recent film, ‘MS-Dhoni: The Untold Story’ was a blockbuster hit at the Box Office. The actor is currently shooting with Kriti Sanon for his upcoming film, ‘Raabta’.In an interview with a leading daily, SSR opened up on Ranveer Singh and Aditya Chopra’s ‘Befikre’.

He and Raveer are having a rumored cold war regarding which the actor said, “Probably, it’s because we are about the same age and because I opted out of the old management company (Aditya Chopra’s company) and he decided otherwise and so comparisons can be made.”

When Aditya Chopra’s ‘Befikre’ released there also was a rumour that Ranveer’s role was offered to Sushant to which he said, “Let me clear it once and for all, I was never offered Befikre. But had I been offered, I wouldn’t have done it. I know it’s easier to decide after the results are out but I have a reason. If the same production is offering me niche films like Byomkesh Bakshy, I would do it. And I would also do a Paani where Shekhar Kapur will be a raising a very important, immediate issue.”

He further added, “If Befikre was representing the new-age youth of India and romance as what it was claiming, it would have been great irrespective of the box-office numbers. But unfortunately, it didn’t do that and hence I would not be interested. I am not suggesting that films should only reflect reality (like Pink, Neerja or Dhoni biopic.) They could also be fanciful films like The Jungle Book (2016), which was also very popular. But it’s extremely important to know and then claim what you have made.”

That’s something interesting Sushant had to say!
