While talking about his past spat with Abhay Deol, the director mentioned Sushant “ghosted” him for big films. Kashyap was quoted as saying, “And the day the unfortunate incident happened of SSR, I felt so bad. Three weeks prior to that somebody was trying to reach out because he wanted to talk, and I was like, ‘No, he ghosted me, I don’t want to talk’. You get pangs of guilt. So, I tried to reach out to Abhay and I apologised to him, because somebody had told me that he was upset about me speaking publicly about him.” ALSO READ: Anurag Kashyap Had Told Sushant Singh Rajput’s Manager That SSR Is ‘Too Problematic’; Filmmaker Shares WhatsApp Chats
