SSR's death case: Bhansali reaches police station to record statement

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Monday arrived at Bandra police station in Mumbai to record his statement in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death investigation. He was spotted by media at the police station earlier around noon. The 57-year-old director is the biggest name yet to be summoned in this case, whose probe began after Sushant passed away last month.

Details
He would be questioned about Sushant's professional life

Bhansali will reportedly be questioned about allegations that the late actor was suffering from depression as he had been forced to drop out of a number of films. In fact, reports suggested that Sushant was initially offered two of Bhansali's films, viz. Ramleela and Bajirao Mastani. However, the collaboration could not materialize owing to Sushant's contract with Yash Raj Films (YRF) back then.

Allegations
Many alleged Sushant faced professional issues

Many, including Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam, had alleged that Sushant faced a boycott from major production banners and he lost some of his films to other stars. In fact, a complaint was also filed against Bhansali and some other Bollywood bigwigs like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, Bhushan Kumar, Salman Khan, and Sajid Nadiadwala, in this regard.

Investigation
So far, the cops have questioned 29 people

Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing investigation, the Mumbai Police has questioned at least 29 people, including Sushant's family, housekeeper, cook, business manager, friends Mahesh Shetty, Mukesh Chhabra, Rhea Chakraborty, and Siddharth Pitani, publicist Rohini Iyer, and YRF casting director Shanoo Sharma. Last week, Sanjana Sanghi, Sushant's co-star in his final film Dil Bechara, also recorded her statement.

Details
The police also sought Sushant's contract with YRF

The police also sought copies of Sushant' contract with YRF. Further, they also recently questioned two former senior employees of the production company, namely Ashish Singh and Ashish Patil. To recall, Sushant worked in two YRF films, viz. Shuddh Desi Romance (2013) and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015). Earlier, cops had recovered medical prescriptions and medications meant for clinical depression, from the late actor's home.

Shekhar Kapur
Director Shekhar Kapur may also be interrogated

According to reports, film director Shekhar Kapur is also expected to be summoned for interrogation by the police. Notably, Kapur and Sushant were to work together on YRF film Paani. But the project was eventually shelved. Furthermore, Kapur has been actively speaking up on Sushant after his demise. He even hinted that Sushant was suffering from some issues in his professional life.

Demise
Sushant died by suicide on June 14

Sushant, aged 34, was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai on June 14. The police said he died by suicide. He had been battling depression for the past few months. The late actor's last rites were held in the city on June 15. Subsequently, stars from all walks of life paid tribute to him, as the tragic piece of news surfaced.

Information
His final film will be out this month

Star of hit films like M.S. Dhoni and Chhichhore, Sushant had a promising career ahead of him. In fact, his final film Dil Bechara is one of the most awaited movies this year. It will be out on Disney + Hotstar on July 24.
