Politician Sanjay Nirupam has qualified director Shekhar Kapur’s oblique tweet on Sushant Singh Rajput being “let down” by the film fraternity by alleging that Sushant signed seven films after the success of his 2019 film Chhichhore, only to lose all seven in a matter of six months. He did not specify which films these were.
Mr Rajput was found dead at home and police say he died by suicide. His death has sparked severe criticism of the film industry, many of whom declared themselves shattered.
Very few of those who posted actually attended the actor’s funeral on Monday, and not a single A-lister was among them.
Sanjay Nirupam was at the funeral, as were actors Kriti Sanon, Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Vivek Oberoi, and filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor who gave Sushant Singh Rajput his break in Bollywood.
In his tweet, written in Hindi, Sanjay Nirupam wrote that the cruelty of the film industry operates on another level and that it killed a talented artiste, meaning Mr Rajput.
Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly struggled with alienation and isolation over the last few months.
Mr Nirupam’s words bolster those of director Shekhar Kapur, who cast Mr Rajput in the delayed project Paani.
In a cryptic tweet posted after the actor’s death, Mr Kapur referred to “people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder.”
Condemnation for the film industry has also come from actor Vivek Oberoi who, after attending the funeral, called for Bollywood to “b***h less and care more.”
