A
proposal
has
been
put
forth
to
instate
a
National
film
award
named
after
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
as
a
tribute
to
the
late
actor.
A
report

Hungama
said
that
plans
are
afoot
for
the
late

name
to
be
permanently
inscribed
into

The
report

Party

quoted
as
saying,
"Yes,
they
are
planning
to
instate
a
National
film
award
named
after
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
The
proposal
has
been
put
forth.
But
then
as
we
all
know
bureaucracy
and
politics
are
slow
movers.
It's
taking
time
to
push
the
idea
forward.
But
we
will
get
there,
I
am
sure."
Meanwhile,
