Hyderabad: Actor Rhea Chakraborty, who was being probed by three federal agencies- the NCB, the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after Sushant Singh Rajput's demise, will be returning to films in the new year.
Filmmaker Rumi Jaffrey, who was a close friend of Sushant and Rhea says Rhea, has revealed that the Jalebi actor will return to her work early this year.
Speaking to a webloid, Rumi said, "It has been a traumatic year for her. Of course the year was bad for everyone. But in her case it a trauma on another level. Can you imagine any girl from a well-to-do middleclass family spending a month in jail? It has crushed her morale completely." The filmmaker added, "Rhea will return to her work early next year."

When Rumi met Rhea recently, he found her withdrawn and quiet. The filmmaker said he also assured Rhea that she will be accepted by the industry no matter what.
"I met her recently. She was withdrawn and quiet. Didn’t speak much. Can’t blame her after what she has gone through. Let the heat and dust settle down. I’m sure Rhea will have a lot to say," said the filmmaker.
Rhea will next be seen in Rumi's upcoming thriller Chehre which is headlined by Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan. For unversed, Sushant and Rhea were supposed to feature together in Rumi's untitled directorial. Devastated with Sushant's demise, Rumi had back then confessed that he might never make the movie since it was written keeping SSR in mind.
