Late bits of gossip recommended that Ranveer Singh-starrer Befikre - which did not do extremely well at the household film industry - was at first offered to Sushant Singh Rajput. Invalidating the bits of gossip, Sushant has said that he wouldn't have done the film had it been offered to him.

Sushant said in an announcement issued to media, “I was never offered Befikre. But had I been offered, I wouldn’t have done it. If the same production house is offering me a niche film like Detective Byomkesh Bakshy (2015), I would do it because Dibakar Banerjee (director) has a different interpretation of the old classic; and I would do a Paani where Shekhar Kapur will be raising a very important and immediate issue.”



“If Befikre was representing the new-age youth of India and romance as what it was claiming, it would have been great irrespective of the box-office numbers. But unfortunately, it didn’t do that and hence I would not be interested. I am not suggesting that films should only reflect reality ,” he said.

“They could also be fanciful films like The Jungle Book (2016), which was also very popular. But it’s extremely important to know and then claim what you have made.It’s a wonderful new India, and it is reflecting in the way we are bridging the gap between our ‘hits’ and ‘good’ films,”" the performing artist included.
