Sushant Singh Rajput Cried A Lot: Shekhar Kapur Makes Heartbreaking Revelations About What Broke Him

Sushant Was Excited To Work With Mr Kapur

While speaking to Manoj Bajpayee in an Instagram live, Shekhar Kapur said, "Sushant was bouncing up and down, so excited that he was going to work with me and do Paani. The great thing about Sushant that I noticed was that acting did not stop with rehearsing the lines or reading the script or doing the movements. His interest went way beyond... Every time I had a meeting with the production designer or the DOP or VFX team, he was there."

Sushant Cried A Lot When Paani Was Shelved

"When the film (Paani) was shelved and he realised he wasn't doing the film, he cried a lot. I cried too. I would cry every time he cried because I was also passionately and deeply involved with it. Our lives are full of ups and downs. This term ‘depression'... I am not saying that depression does not exist. I am saying that we play with depression. As creative people, it is an emotion that we play with," added the Mr. India director.
