Sushant Singh Rajput has bounced back in his career after a dull phase when his movies like Raabta and Sonchiriya didn't work well at the box-office. His recent film Chhichhore not only collected around ₹ 200 crore at the worldwide box-office but also impressed his fans and audiences. The MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actor is now all set to bring an emotional love story on the table with his upcoming film Dil Bechara on November 29 this year.
