Politician Sanjay Nirupam took to Twitter to portray the cruelty of the film industry, claimed that the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput had signed seven films after the success of Chhichhore but lost them all in a span of six months.

Mumbai: After Shekhar Kapur put light on Kedarnath starrer Sushant Singh Rajput being "let down" by the film fraternity, politician Sanjay Nirupam alleged that the actor signed seven films after the success of his 2019 film Chhichhore, only to lose all seven in a matter of six months.

However, Sanjay didn't specify which films they were.

He tweeted, "Chhichhore hit hone ke baad Sushant Singh Rajput ne saat filmen sign ki thi. Chha mahine mein uske haath se saari filmen nikal gayi theen. Kyun? Film industry ki nishthurta ek alag level par kaam karti hai. Issi nishthurta ne ek prathibhavaan kalaakar ko maar dala. Sushant ko vinamra shraddhanjali (After the success of Chhichhore, Sushant Singh Rajput had signed as many as seven films. However, over a span of six months, he lost them all. Why? The cruelty of the film industry works at another level. This was this cruelty that took his life and we lost a talented actor. My obeisance to Sushant)."

Earlier, Shekhar wrote, "I knew the pain you were going through. I knew the story of the people that let you down so bad that you would weep on my shoulder. I wish Iwas around the last 6 months. I wish you had reached out to me. What happened to you was their Karma. Not yours. #SushantSinghRajput."

"Naming few people has no value. They themselves are products and victims of a 'system' everyone is protesting against. If you really care, if you’re really angry, then bring down the system. Not the individual. That’s guerilla warfare. Not a spurt of anger. #SushantSinghRajput," he added.

Sushant Singh Rajput rose to stardom as the lead on the TV soap Pavitra Rishta, after which he made his film debut in 2013's Kai Po Che! He is known for his work in films such as MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Sonchiriya, Kedarnath and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
