The Mumbai Police had confirmed on Friday that it had issued summons to the filmmaker for a statement, after stating earlier that the process was underway. Bhansali’s visit comes in the backdrop of reports that he had offered Sushant four films. It has been reported that the collaboration did not take place due to 'date issues.'

Mumbai Police is investigating the angle about Sushant’s alleged ouster from films and being ‘boycotted’ by a section of the film industry, playing a role in his death.

Yash Raj Films was earlier asked to submit its contract copy with Sushant, who had signed a  three-film deal and worked in two films for the banner, which was the banner obliged to. The production house’s casting director Shanoo Sharma and former employee Aashish Singh too have been questioned in the case.
