The late Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara will premiere on the OTT platform Disney+Hotstar, on 24 July.
“Sushant was not just the hero of my debut film as a director, but he was a dear friend who stood by m e t h r o u g h thick and thin. We had been close right from Kai Po Che to Dil Bechara,” said the film’s director Mukesh Chhabra.
Dil Bechara is the official remake of 2014 Hollywood romantic drama The Fault in our Stars, based on John Green’s popular novel of the same name. Budding actress Sanjana Sanghi stars opposite Sushant in the film.
“He had promised me that he would be in my first film. So many plans were made together, so many dreams were dreamt together but never once did I ever imagine that I would be left alone to release this film. He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it,” Chhabra added.
The film will see Saif Ali Khan in a cameo. Composer A.R. Rahman and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have collaborated to create music for the project.
Sushant was found hanging at his residence in Mumbai on 14 June. He was 34.
