Sources
Reveal
That
Aditya
Chopra
Contradicted
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
Over
Sushant's
Casting
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
had
claimed
in
his
statement
that
he
had
offered
Goliyon
Ki
Rasleela
Ram-Leela,
Bajirao
Mastani,
Padmaavat,
and
another
film
to
Sushant.
However,
the
actor
turned
them
down
because
he
was
bound
under
a
three-film
contract
with
YRF
(Yash
Raj
Films).
However,
Aditya
refuted
Bhansali's
allegations
in
his
statement.
Aditya
Said
That
YRF
Never
Stopped
Sushant
From
Working
With
Other
Filmmakers
Aditya
allegedly
informed
the
police
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
had
not
spoken
to
YRF
to
cast
Sushant
in
his
film
Bajirao
Mastani.
He
also
said
that
Sushant
was
free
to
work
on
films
of
his
choice
despite
being
under
contract
with
YRF.
Aditya
Chopra
said
that
no
one
from
Bhansali's
team
contacted
YRF
regarding
his
film
and
his
wish
to
cast
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
Aditya
Chopra
Allegedly
Said
That
He
Never
Tampered
With
Sushant's
Career
It
was
said
that
while
YRF
didn't
allow
Sushant
to
take
up
Goliyon
Ki
Raasleela
Ram-Leela,
they
allowed
Ranveer
to
act
in
that
film.
However,
Aditya
allegedly
called
this
accusation
'baseless'.
He
said
that
Ranveer
Singh
signed
the
film
in
April
2012,
whereas
YRF's
contract
was
signed
with
Sushant
Singh
in
November
2012.
So,
there
was
no
question
of
them
trying
to
tamper
with
Sushant's
career.
Aditya
Chopra
Had
This
To
Say
About
Paani
Being
Shelved
In
his
statement
to
Mumbai
Police,
Aditya
Chopra
said
that
Paani
was
shelved
due
to
creative
differences
between
filmmakers,
and
not
because
of
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
Meanwhile,
director
Shekhar
Kapur,
who
was
to
helm
Paani,
had
earlier
revealed
that
Sushant
was
quite
upset
when
the
film
got
shelved.
