EXCLUSIVE: Post Chhichhore success, Sushant Singh Rajput signs a 3 film deal with Sajid Nadiadwala
The filmmaker has loved working with the actor and has decided to bankroll two more projects with SSR under his banner.
Sushant Singh Rajput's year might have started on a rough note with Sonchiriya not finding its audience but the actor delivered a class performance in Nitesh Tiwary directed Chhichhore. The film too went on to pack in huge numbers at the box office and turned out to be a superhit for the entire team. A lot of speculations about Sushant's next has been doing the rounds, but now we can tell you that he's been signed a gigantic deal.
A source says, "Sushant has Drive that's releasing on the digital stream now. After that, he has Dil Bechaara which is the remake of The Fault In Our Stars. But he has not signed any other film. He has been roped in by Sajid Nadiadwala for a three film deal. Although Nadiadwala wanted to get him on board before the release of Chhichhore, the success of the film has only helped him make the decision."
The projects that Sushant will star in are yet to be decided. "He will do two more films under the banner but it's not yet known which ones he is signing. There's a slight chance that he might reunite with Abhishek Chaubey for the Hindi remake of Jigarthanda which also stars Rajkummar Rao. But none of it is signed on the dotted line. The producer and the actor are discussing a few scripts and will make a formal announcement once they lock something on paper. But one thing is for sure - he will definitely be seen in two more films that will be bankrolled by Nadiadwala."
