In 2014, Farhan Akhtar picked Sushant, 'an actor with a brighter future' over Varun, Arjun

As a part of 'Throwback Thursday', a video surfaced on social media where Farhan Akhtar in 2014 at a popular and controversial chat show picked Sushant Singh Rajput as an 'actor with a brighter future' over Aditya Roy Kapur, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Sidharth Malhotra. In 2014, Sushant had delivered two films only — Kai Po Che! and 'Shuddh Desi Romance'  opposite Parineeti Chopra.

Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate death by suicide shook the entire film industry. SSR's demise has triggered serious debates and conversations around nepotism and 'Insider vs Outsider' behaviour of the industry.
