The film was also supposed to star Rhea Chakraborty in the lead. Rumi also added that Rs 15 crore was not even the full price for the film. He stated that there was no agreement signed so the signing was out of the question.
Earlier, Rhea had reportedly said that the late actor and she had just verbally agreed to do the film. The film was slated to go on floors in May but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown.
After KK Singh accused Rhea of money laundering amongst other charges, the Enforcement Directorate took over the case to probe the angle. They have interrogated and recorded statements of Rhea and other members of her family in the case.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic death case is currently being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Apart from CBI and ED, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is also investigating the drug abuse angle in the case.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14.
