Sushant Singh Rajput’s Last Film ‘Dil Bechara’ to release on OTT!

Sushant’s Last film Dil Bechara to release on Disney+Hotstar!

The entire nation was left saddened by the shocking demise of the talented Sushant Singh Rajput on 14 June 2020. Dil Bechara will be the final film of the late actor. Reportedly, it is all set to release soon on Disney+Hotstar! Along with Sushant, the movie will also feature newcomer Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s last release before his demise was the Netflix movie Drive with Jacqueline Fernandez. His last theatrical release was Chhichhore opposite Shraddha Kapoor which made it to the 100 crore club.

Dil Bechara': The makers celebrates 5 years of 'The Fault in our ... — Dil Bechara – The Hindi remake of The Fault in Our Stars

Dil Bechara is the Hindi remake of ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ – a love story about two terminally ill patients who meet in a cancer support group and fall for each other! Sushant Singh Rajput will be playing the role of ‘Manny’ (Augustus Waters) and Sanjana Sanghi will be seen as ‘Kizie’ (Hazel Grace Lancaster), while Saif will be essaying the role of the author Peter Van Houten.

Previously titled ‘Kizie Aur Manny’, the name was changed to Dil Bechara after the creatives heard the fun, vibrant number composed by AR Rahman and felt it perfectly embodied the theme of the film. Dil Bechara is helmed by casting director Mukesh Chhabra, and marks his directorial debut.

Mukesh Chhabra was suspended from his services after getting embroiled in the #MeToo controversy, but returned to the film after receiving a clean chit. This Hindi adaptation of TFIOS was originally supposed to be out in November 2019, but the pending post-production hampered the release. It was then pushed to 8 May 2020, but due to the Coronavirus Lockdown, the release got postponed again. And now, it has opted for OTT release instead.

Sushant’s last co-actor, Sanjana Sanghi took to Instagram to share a tearful eulogy for him.

“After 2 years of seemingly all the possible difficulties one single film can face, with all sorts of crap constantly being written, and being relentlessly pursued. We were supposed to FINALLY see our film – my first film, and what you told me you believed was your best film yet, together.”

. . You gave me a forever, within a limited number of days, and for that. I’m forever grateful. – our beloved novel, The Fault In Our Stars A forever of learnings, and of memories. I refreshed my web pages a 100 times hoping I’m reading some sort of horrible joke. I’m not equipped to process any of this. I don’t think I ever will be. I’m definitely not equipped to articulate my feelings, this is me failing, but trying. Sushant and I were to save all our anecdotes, moments and stories from the time we spent shooting together up until the release of our film, so we had kept them in our stomachs all this while. After 2 years of seemingly all the possible difficulties one single film can face, with all sorts of crap constantly being written, and being relentlessly pursued – we were supposed to FINALLY watch the film, our labour of love, together – my first, and what you told me you believed was your best film yet. Amidst your journey, and in the middle of 16 hour long shoot days, you somehow found a way and had a desire to yell out to me from the opposite side of set screaming “Rockstar, itni achi acting thodi na karte hain paagal!” ; To guide me over things big & small through our film’s process, To tell me to conserve my energy on set; To discuss even the smallest nuance you thought could change the narrative of a scene and would whole heartedly accept my disagreement; To discuss ways in which we could together forge a brighter educational future for the children of India. You were a force Manny, and you always will be. We’re going to spend an eternity to try and make sense of what you’ve left us behind with, and I personally never will be able to. I simply wish you never left us behind in the first place. Just know, you have a country full of millions, looking up at you, smiling at you, thankful for you. As you smile back at us, from up above. The fact that you get to spend the rest of your time by your mother’s side, I know you gives the only happiness you wanted in the world. #RIPSushantSinghRajput

Fondly remembering the time she spent on the set with him, the actress wrote – “You gave me a forever, within a limited number of days, and for that. I’m forever grateful. A forever of learnings, and memories.”
