Apurva Asrani questions how a publication was calling SSR 'insane'

In the article, at several places, the publication had 'questioned' Sushant's 'sanity'. The publication had done it in a tone that expressed that his tweets were too complicated to understand for a ‘normal person’. In an attempt to mock the actor, the publication went ahead and spun all quotes he had tweeted.

Apurva Asrani shed light on the matter. He explained in his tweet that in 2017, a newspaper had compiled brilliant quotes from SSR & 'spun' them all to make him seem insane. Apurva urged his fans to read the quotes and how the publication has spun them around.

Sushant Singh Rajput last film

Sushant Singh Rajput's last film released on July 24th on Hotstar Disney plus. Dil Bechara is an official Bollywood remake of the Hollywood movie, The Fault In Our Stars. This, in turn, is based on a novel of the same title by John Green. The plot revolves around two terminally ill youngsters who understand loss and pain at such a young age. The ominous beginning of Dil Bechara's trailer says it all that this love story will be far from a happy one. However, in the short period of time, they manage to have a whirlwind romance which also lands them on the streets of Paris. 

Dil Bechara casts Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi as the two star-crossed lovers, Manny and Kizie Basu respectively. The movie also stars Swastika Mukherjee, Saswata Chatterjee and Saif Ali Khan in important roles. Dil Bechara is helmed by debut director Mukesh Chhabra and bankrolled by Fox Star Studios.
