Sushant Singh Rajput's life has inspired a film that has been titled Suicide or Murder: A Star Was Lost. The flick will be helmed by Shamik Maulik, who wants to 'expose Bollywood'; how prevalent nepotism is and how the lobbying works in the film world.

Mumbai: The demise of Sushant Singh Rajput has sparked discussions on the existence of nepotism, lobbying, sabotaging one's career in Bollywood. Now, a filmmaker Shamik Maulik has decided to make a film on the late actor, titled Suicide or Murder: A Star Was Lost.

The flick will be based on how actors with no film background are treated by the industry when they try to make their career in the film world.

In an interview with leading portal, Maulik said that his intention behind taking a leaf from Sushant's life and putting it out on the screen is to 'end the monopoly of the big stars and production houses of the film industry.'

"I want to break this gang. My story will show everything that was done wrong with Sushant. That boy was forced to end his life. He was bullied by people and boycotted and was even fired from several films back-to-back," he added.

The filmmaker further added that the upcoming film is not a biopic, but is inspired by the Kedarnath actor's life.

"The film is not a biopic but is rather inspired by Sushant's life. It will spill the beans on many secrets of the film industry," Maulik said.

The actor was found hanging in his Bandra residence on Sunday morning. He was reportedly battling depression over the past few months.
