Before his demise, SSR gave his last theatrical release, Chhichhore in 2019. Sushant's Chhichhore co-star Prateik Babbar recently recalled that the late actor wanted to travel to Antarctica alone. Prateik expressed that he was a "unique person".

"Wo thoda hatke tha. Main kabhi nahin bhoolunga hum log ek basketball scene ke liye wait kar rahe the. Hoop ke neeche hum log bethe the ball ke sath sirf wo aur main (He was a unique individual. I won't ever forget the day when we were waiting to shoot a basketball scene and both of us were sitting together below the hoop)," the Chhichhore actor said.

Recalling SSR's words, Prateik said, "Yaar main na Antarctica ja raha hoon shoot ke baad (I am going to Antarctica after the shoot)." While the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na actor was surprised to know about his dream, he recalled that the late actor wanted to go there alone.
