Sushant becomes a popular contestant in Bollywood

Sushant Singh Rajput has already become a popular contestant for the tag of Bollywood’s next big thing, even though he is just a newcome actor.

Sushant is in demand by Yash Raj Films, the industry’s biggest banner, which has signed films with many top stars such as Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. The actor is a rare newcomer who hasn’t any problems getting solo hero roles after his impressive debut in Kai Po Che in 2013. His upcoming film Shuddh Desi Romance is scheduled to release on this Friday and initial buzz about the YRF production is positive. The other two featured actors Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor is based on Gen Now’s notions on relationships.

“Everyone who has been in a relationship will relate to my role. I play a streetsmart guy but when it comes to love and commitment, my character is confused,” the 27 Indian boy said.


When asked about the passionate kiss he shares with Parineeti, he said: ” We are portraying a real- life love situation. I prefer to realistic characters, so if intimacy is needed it should be presented freely.” Sushant is among the few artists who have successfully moved from television to films. However, his upward career graph has taken a toll on personal life.

He seldom has enough time to accompany his girlfriend, actress Ankita Lokhande, his co-star from Pavitra Rishta.

He is very excited to pair with Aamir Khan in Rajkumar Hirani’s Peekay . “I have learnt a lot from Aamir Khan on the sets of Peekay.
