Separately, in a unique tribute, a fan named a star after Sushant in his memory.

The late actor's last rites were held in the city on June 15.

Meanwhile, an investigation into his death is currently being carried out by Mumbai Police.

Sushant first shot to fame with popular TV serial Pavitra Rishta.

He then went on to star in movies such as PK, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, and Sonchiriya.

His last theatrical outing, Chhichhore, was a smash hit.
