Sushant Singh Rajput and Shekhar Kapur belong to the mutual admiration club

Mumbai: Sushant Singh Rajput aims to be different and his choices of films have proved it. The hunk of an actor, who began his career with television, took a huge leap into the world of celluloid with Abhishek Kapoor’s  ‘Kai Po Che’! Since then, he has been in internationally acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur’s wish- list.

Sushant and Shekar belong to the mutual admiration club. Sushy has often expressed regards to the ace filmmaker who believes in making unusual cinema.

The ‘M.S.Dhoni: The Untold Story’ star took to Twitter to write the following Monday:

Was lovely meeting you sir. You would always be my inspiration. Thank you for taking out time. :))@shekharkapur pic.twitter.com/u883J8FF4D — Sushant Singh Rajput (@itsSSR) 19 December 2016

Shekhar to appreciated Sushant after the lad was awarded the Best Actor of the Year Award by a popular network.

So well deserved. Brilliant actor .. always searching for real truth behind the mundane .. https://t.co/Cp339yZ8Dj — Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) 20 December 2016

Shekhar and Sushant were in talks for the former’s ambitious project titled ‘Paani’ that has been in news for over six years now. However, the project seems to have been shelved. 

The 'Elizabeth' helmer expressed regret and tweeted: "Am as devastated as u that Paani did not get made @itsSSR but I've never met an actor that worked so hard in preparing for a part as you did (sic)."
