While many are regularly known to pay tributes to the late actor, Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri shared a throwback selfie with SSR on Thursday evening. The director remembered his conversations with him and how the two would bond.
Agnihotri revealed that they would talk about their similar backgrounds, as they are both from middle-class households from small towns. ALSO READ | KRK’s Life Is In DANGER, Claims His Son, Says, ‘Don’t Want Him To Die Like Sushant Singh Rajput;’ Asks Devendra Fadnavis, Abhishek Bachchan For Help

For the unversed, Sushant was reportedly a self-confessed nerd and his interests often ranged from Particle Physics to Astrophysics. An engineering dropout, he had often expressed his regret about not being able to get his degree.
Interestingly, Paani, which Vivek mentioned in his tweet, was an ambitious film launched by Shekhar Kapur with Sushant in lead.
However, the film was shelved months after the actor had begun preparing for it as Yash Raj Films pulled out.
A Hindustan Times report also quoted an old interaction with Manoj Bajpayee, Shekhar had said he and Sushant had both cried when that happened. “When the film was shelved and he realised he wasn’t doing the film, he cried a lot. I cried too. I would cry every time he cried because I was also passionately and deeply involved with it,” he said.
