    Bhatt said Sushant was not offered 'Sadak 2': Report

  • According to reports, Bhatt rubbished certain reports and told cops that Sushant was never offered his upcoming movie Sadak 2, that stars Sanjay Dutt and the director's daughter Alia in lead roles.

    He also mentioned that he met Sushant twice, once in 2018 and then again in February this year, saying their conversations mostly revolved around books and literature, reports claimed.

    In fact, many industry bigwigs faced trolling and criticism after Sushant's death.

  • Apart from Bhatt, Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has also been summoned for interrogation. He will likely record his statement on Tuesday.
