Sushant
Singh
Rajput
delivered
a
knockout
performance
in
his
last
release
M.S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story
and
has
a
platter
of
films
ranging
belonging
to
various
genres.
In
an
interview
to
Hindustan
Times,
the
actor
spoke
about
his
alleged
cold
war
with
Ranveer
Singh.
He
said,
"Probably,
it's
because
we
are
about
the
same
age
and
because
I
opted
out
of
the
old
management
company
(Aditya
Chopra's
company)
and
he
decided
otherwise
and
so
comparisons
can
be
made."
Ranveer's
last
film
Befikre
grabbed
a
lot
of
eyeballs
on
its
bold
take
on
romance.
Further,
there
were
even
rumours
of
Sushant
being
offered
this
film
first.
When
asked
about
it,
he
said,
"Let
me
clear
it
once
and
for
all,
I
was
never
offered
Befikre.
But
had
I
been
offered,
I
wouldn't
have
done
it.
I
know
it's
easier
to
decide
after
the
results
are
out
but
I
have
a
reason.
If
the
same
production
is
offering
me
niche
films
like
Byomkesh
Bakshy,
I
would
do
it.
And
I
would
also
do
a
Paani
where
Shekhar
Kapur
will
be
a
raising
a
very
important,
immediate
issue."
Adding
more
to
it
he
further
said,
"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
(like
Pink,
Neerja
or
Dhoni
biopic.)
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."
