Casting director Mukesh Chhabra drew parallels between Rajput and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. 

Mukesh Chhabra has once again talked about his ‘close friend’ and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. During a conversation with Neelesh Misra, the renowned casting director drew parallels between Rajput and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. 

When asked what thing about Sushant Singh Rajput most sticks out in his memory, Mukesh Chhabra, “I remember his charm. When he used to talk, everyone would listen to him. It’s like how Shah Rukh Khan is. He is very charming when he talks and he is also very passionate about his work.”

Mukesh Chhabra added that Sushant can talk on any topic in the world. “He was very well educated. He knew everything. I will talk about quantum physics, mathematics, Hindi, Sanskrit, world cinema, world languages, politics, economics, cars, toys, computers, he would talk about everything,” Chhabra shared. 

How Mukesh Chhabra met Sushant Singh Rajput

Mukesh recalled, “Sushant was not just an actor for me, he’s a very close friend. Someone who blindly trusted me and said yes to my first film ( Dil Bechara ) and the way I trusted him for his first film ‘Kai Po Che’.”

Talking about the audition process of the film, he said, “‘Kai Po Che’ happened 9 years ago in 2013. I met him through Shobha, and then after I met him at a cafe in Versova. I called him for ‘Kai Po Che’ audition and he was so good in the audition that we re-auditioned him three-four times.”

The casting director also revealed that some famous celebs were shortlisted for the film. He said, “We shortlisted so many people, including Vijay Verma, Angad Bedi, Ali Fazal, and Ayushmann Khurrana. That was one of the greatest casting experiences because very few were launching three boys in one film at that time.”

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his flat on June 14, 2020. His last film was ‘Dil Bechara’.
