On June 29, auteur Shekhar Kapur was also called for his statement. Kapur gave a detailed statement through email since he was not in the city. The statement disclosed that the Rajput was shattered when his film ‘Pani’ with YRF was put off due to creative differences between the actor and the production house.

Shekhar Kapur also indicated that this was the possible reason for the actor battling depression. The actor's death has also raised questions over nepotism in Bollywood. Filmmaker Karan Johar also faced the wrath of the late actor's fans as they felt Rajput was not getting his fair share in the industry due to the prevailing nepotism.
