For the unversed, Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on June 14, 2020. His sudden death, shook the industry and his fans. The death case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with the assistance of Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which are probing into the money laundering angle and drugs case, respectively.

Coming back to the film, Sonchiriya directed by Abhishek Chaubey was a bandit drama set in the Chambal valley. Apart from Bhumi and SSR, the film also starred Ashutosh Rana, Ranvir Shorey and Manoj Bajpayee in pivotal roles. The film was highly appreciated by critics. However, it failed to impress the audience at the box office.
