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."

Ouch, we wonder what Ranveer has to say to this!
