While sharing the video, the filmmaker also mentioned losing “our crown jewel”, referring to Sushant, who passed away on June 14, 2020.

Adapted from Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life, the clip is bound to revive some old lost memories of Sushant from his debut film. Expressing sadness of celebrating the milestone journey with Sushant, Abhishek wrote, “The thrill of starting this journey with a new team hungry 2 gives their best at the dawn of their careers stands most vividly in mind...One cant quantifies the love our film continues to receive over the years, neither can we quantify the pain we feel at the loss of our crown jewel.” Apart from the film, Kai Po Che’s songs continue to find a place in the playlist of fans. Its music composer Amit Trivedi also shared a clip with “Shubhaarambh” playing in the background, to celebrate the film that was released 8 years back and created magic on the screens.
