Anurag Kashyap said Sushant Singh Rajput stopped responding after signing two Dharma films. Kashyap wanted to make Nishaanchi with Sushant, but the actor chose bigger projects like Dil Bechara and Drive. The film was announced in 2016 but was delayed. Kashyap moved on and made other films. Sushant passed away in June 2020. Kashyap also said Sushant left his earlier film Hasee Toh Phasee for a YRF film. He said many actors knew about Nishaanchi but it never worked out. Sushant became famous after MS Dhoni: The Untold Story in 2016. Kashyap said he was not upset when Sushant stopped replying and respected his choices. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 09:09 IST; source: link)
