Sushant Singh Rajput's love story with Rhea Chakraborty to be turned into a film. Who may play the deceased actor's role?
Even years after his tragic passing, the memory of Sushant Singh Rajput continues to linger in the hearts of those who knew and admired him. His charm, restlessness, and infectious energy left an indelible mark—especially on filmmaker Rumi Jaffery , who now plans to honour Sushant's life in a way few expected: by telling the love story he shared with actress Rhea Chakraborty . According to reports in the Deccan Chronicle, Rumi, a veteran scriptwriter known for iconic Bollywood hits like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, and Biwi No.1, shared his emotional recollection of Sushant's vibrant presence—his energy, his unpredictability, and the calming role Rhea often played beside him. According to Rumi, the bond between the two wasn't just romantic—it was deeply intense and unforgettable. Who may portray Sushant Singh Rajput in the movie? The project is currently in its scripting stage. While no actor has officially been cast, reportedly, The Archies star Vedang Raina is being considered to portray Sushant. About Rhea Chakraborty Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty once reflected on her journey of healing, highlighting that recovery is a gradual process with no shortcuts. Rhea faced intense public scrutiny and personal trauma following the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, and has been steadily rebuilding her life. Some time back, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially cleared her and others of any involvement in Sushant's death, filing a closure report that found no evidence linking them to the case. In 2020, Rhea and her brother Showik were arrested in connection with a drug-related case that emerged during the investigation. Since then, she has kept a low profile while slowly returning to work and focusing on personal growth. Now back in the public eye, Rhea appears on the new season of MTV Roadies and has been making strides with her creative ventures, including her fashion label 'Chapter 2' and a podcast. Her latest social media posts reflect a renewed sense of purpose and strength as she enters what she calls her 'Chapter 2.' The actress marked her debut in Bollywood with Mere Dad Ki Maruti and later starred in films like Sonali Cable, Half Girlfriend, Jalebi and Chehre.
