Arun Pandey, a close friend and business manager of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni, who also co-produced MS Dhoni - the movie told ABP News, "a sequel has been long crossing his mind and there were thinking of coming up with something at some point of time but given what happened today, everything is now meaningless."

"I am absolutely shocked. I am at a total loss of words. He was a very cheerful person and we spent almost 100 days at a stretch together and during the time we became very close," he says.

Pandey says that Sushant was very a very humble guy and there was much to him that what people knew about him.

"Deep within he was a child, his exuberance and little things he liked to do, we had a lot of fun on the sets. Also, he really put in a lot of hard work, he wanted to make sure he looked the part, not just his outside appearance but also his mannerisms and of course his cricketing shots. Everyone remembers the video where he perfected the helicopter shot," he said.
