Ashish Singh, who is the Director-Original Films at Netflix was spotted and clicked when he arrived at the police station on  Friday.

Though Singh is currently with Netflix, he was working with Yash Raj Films till 2019. YRF had earlier submitted the copies of their contract with Sushant on the instructions of Mumbai Police. The police is investigating the angle of Suhant allegedly being ousted from films and ‘boycotted’ by banners.

Sushant had reportedly signed a three-film contract with YRF, and featured in two films, Shuddh Desi Romance and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy. However, with Shekhar Kapur’s Paani getting shelved and Sushant reportedly turning down Aurangzeb, the partnership didn’t continue on a favourable note.
