With two UTV Films, a Yash Raj production and Raj Kumar Hirani's next in his repertoire, Sushant Singh Rajput goes places.
Done with Ranveer Singh's flamboyance for now, we hear Yash Raj Films is adamant on utilizing and promoting the skills of Sushant Singh Rajput to the optimum. While Sushant have been signed for one major project by Yash Raj, the banner is, in keeping with a source, "one hundred percent keen" to sign this much in-demand newcomer for 2 other projects.
Only hitch is, Sushant is under contract with UTV who're launching him as a number one man in Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che.
New Talent seems much in-demand in Bollywood, what with a handful of so-called A-listers demanding multi-cores in fees, and getting away with it.
Both UTV and Yash Raj Films seem equally keen to make use of Sushant's talents. While UTV's Kai Po Che featuring Sushant along side two other male leads (Rajkumar Yadav and Amit Sadh) is nearly ready for release, YRF has just secured Sushant because the male lead for Maneesh Sharma's next film with Parineeti Chopra.
While Sushant Singh Rajput begged off any touch upon the issue, an overly reliable source on the subject of UTV confirmed that Sushant is indeed bound by a freelance by UTV.
Says the source, "For a while now, Aditya Chopra were Sushant as a possible Yash Raj trouper. They've recently launched Ranveer and Arjun Kapoor. Now they're taking a look at Sushant. Sushant was offered Yash Raj's Aurangzeb and another film which the young actor couldn't do as a result of his contract with UTV. However when Maneesh Sharma's film with Parineeti Chopra was offered to Sushant he just couldn't say no. Sushant approach UTV's Ronnie Screwvala directly asking his permission to do the film. Ronnie gave the go-ahead but given that Sushant does another film, this time as a solo lead, with UTV immediately after completing his Yash Raj film."
Apparently, UTV has a solo-hero rom-com able to go at the floors the minute Sushant completes his Yash Raj Film.
Clearly the newcomer's windfall has proven to be larger than he expected it to be. Sushant Singh Rajput remained unavailable for comment.
