Sushant's last film 'Dil Bechara' to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar

Making the big announcement, the Walt Disney-owned streaming platform tweeted, "A story of love, hope, and endless memories. Celebrating the late Sushant Singh Rajput's legacy that will be etched in the minds of all and cherished forever."

Notably, the film will be available for free to Hotstar subscribers as well as non-subscribers, as a tribute to Sushant.

Dil Bechara is a coming-of-age romantic drama based on John Green's popular 2012 novel The Fault in Our Stars. It marks the directorial debut of casting director Mukesh Chhabra.

Apart from Sushant, it also stars debutante Sanjana Sanghi, while Saif Ali Khan will be seen in a cameo role.

Notably, The Fault in Our Stars was also adapted into an eponymous 2014 Hollywood movie.

"Sushant was not just the hero of my debut film as a director, but he was a dear friend who stood by me through thick and thin," Chhabra said in a statement.

"He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it," the director added.

Earlier, in a post, Chhabra said that Sushant was like a brother to him and that he felt heartbroken after his untimely demise.

Saying that he felt "deeply saddened and shocked," Chhabra penned, "I still can't believe it. Our endless conversations have come to an abrupt end. I hope you are in a better place my brother, will always miss you and love you."

In an emotional video, Sanjana also narrated how Sushant helped and supported her as she worked on her first-ever film.

She shared, "After 2 years of seemingly all the possible difficulties one single film can face...we were supposed to finally watch the film, our labour of love, together - my first, and what you told me you believed was your best film yet."
