Sushant Singh Rajput: Late Actor Once Told Former Indian Skipper MS Dhoni, ‘Bhaisaab, Everybody Is Going To Search You In Me’
When Sushant Singh Rajput had told MS Dhoni, “Bhaisaab, everybody is going to search you in me, I will have to do everything the same way as you do." Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide by hanging himself, yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, Sushant Singh Rajput hung himself to death. He was 34. After a successful career in TV, SSRK made his debut with Kai Po Che. Later, he went on to give some hit films MS Dhoni Biopic, PK, Kedarnath, Chhichhore among others. While the actor will always be remembered for his movies, he received immense love when he portrayed MS Dhoni’s character in his biopic. Not many know, during his biopic journey, Sushant Singh Rajput had always been in contact with the former Indian skipper.
Cricketer Arun Pandey penned a tribute to the actor. SSR said had been religiously following MS Dhoni to get his every action right. The cricketer Arun Pandey told Indian Expressed, “I knew how much effort had gone into Sushant so impressively replicating Mahi’s mannerisms, both on and off the field. Actually, when the thought came to me of making the movie, and after the long time it took to convince Mahi of the idea, I first wanted to decide who would play the lead in the biopic. I had asked one of the persons working for me to give me a list of actors who could possibly play Dhoni.”
“Among them was Sushant. I had seen him in a movie called Kai Po che in which his character was a cricket coach. It looked like he had played the game. So when I met him, I saw the desire in him to play the role. I spoke to Mahi also, he had also seen Kai Po Che so it was finalised. So even before approaching director Niraj Pandey, I had decided that Sushant would play Dhoni.”
He went on to reveal, “He would have long sessions with Dhoni too. Again, the questions kept on coming. If he wasn’t satisfied with any answer or if Dhoni was evasive, he would slightly twist the same question and try his luck again. Once I remember, Dhoni rolled his eyes and said: “Arre bhai, kitne questions poochta hai tu! I remember Sushant’s reply. He said, “Bhaisaab, everybody is going to search you in me, I will have to do everything the same way as you do”.
