Dil Bechara: Saif Ali Khan calls late Sushant Singh Rajput talented; Says, ‘He was brighter than I was’

Post Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise, while Kareena Kapoor Khan took to social media to mourn the death of the actor, Saif Ali Khan, who shared screen space with Sushant in Dil Bechara, recalled his experience of working with Sushant. Ahead of the release of Dil Bechara on OTT, Saif Ali Khan got talking about working with Sushant Singh Rajput and spending time with him on the sets of the film.

Saif Ali Khan, who will be seen in a cameo appearance in Sushant Singh Rajput's last project Dil Bechara, said that according to him, Sushant "had a bright future." Moving on, Saif Ali Khan described Sushant as ‘talented’ and ‘good looking’ and thought that he had a bright future. Recalling the times that Saif and Sushant spent on the sets while shooting for Dil Bechara, Saif said that Sushant was polite to him, and appreciated his guest appearance in the film. Besides his acting prowess, what Saif totally loved about Sushant was the fact that the late actor was interested in talking about philosophy and astronomy. Before signing off, Saif Ali Khan said that he felt that Sushant was brighter than him as he said, “I got the feeling he was brighter than I was.”

Talking about Dil Bechara, the film will release digitally on Disney+Hotstar on July 24 and it will be available to both subscribers as well as non-subscribers of the streaming platform. Dil Bechara, which happens to be Sushant’s last film, is inspired by John Green's book The Fault In Our Stars. While Dil Bechara is directed by casting director Mukesh Chhabra, the film will see Sushant romance debutante Sanjana Sanghi.

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. We had been close right from Kai Po Che to Dil Bechara. 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 releasing this film without him. There can be no better way to celebrate him and his talent. He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it. And I'm glad that the Producers have made it available for everyone to watch. We are going to love and celebrate you my friend. I can visualise you with your beautiful smile blessing us from up above. Love you
