On Saturday, actress Shraddha Kapoor was interrogated by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Now, ironically, Shraddha’s father and veteran actor Shakti Kapoor has been cast as a narcotics officer in an upcoming film inspired by SSR’s life!
As reported by News18, Shakti Kapoor will play a narcotics officer in the film titled ‘Nyaay: The Justice’. Another interesting coincidence is that this movie is backed by Sarla A. Saraogi, whose husband Ashok M. Saraogi, is Sushant’s ex-manager Shruti Modi’s lawyer in the actual, ongoing investigations!
The film’s lead actor is Zuber K Khan, plays a character called Mahendra Singh, or Mahi, inspired by the late Sushant Singh Rajput, while actress Shreya Shukla plays a character named Urvashi, inspired by Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty.
Zuber K Khan told IANS: “Aman Verma is playing an ED officer, Shakti Kapoor sir is playing narcotics officer and Sudha Chandran ji is playing a CBI officer in the film.”
“Shoot has started. The storyline is getting bigger and more characters are being included. Casting has almost been completed for characters like Ankita (Lokhande), Kriti Sanon, Sara Ali Khan, Sushant’s family, his sisters, lawyer, even ex-manager Disha Salian and Shruti Modi, his staff, his cook and friends,” said Zuber.
Zuber also stated that the film will take into account all angles; from speculated murder, suicide, to Bollywood drug probe.
“I have shot a scene where he is seen in a high state. They haven’t shown him doping but he is high and that is shown. Then there is one scene where Rhea and Sushant’s characters are seen smoking and drinking while discussing something. Whatever the audience is learning from media reports (regarding drugs), little bit of that will be shown in the film, even though that angle is not being emphasised,” Zuber said.
Ex-Bigg Boss contestant Somi Khan will play Sushant’s ex-manager Disha Salian.
The film will have four songs including a dance number, as Sushant was a good dancer.
Directed by Dilip Gulati, the shooting for “Nyaay: The Justice” is expected to wrap up by mid-October. The makers are reportedly eyeing a December release.
