This year’s January, Mukesh Chhabra tweeted Thatcher has been planning for sequel of Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara.
Dil Bechara hit the theaters on July 24, 2020. The film starred Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi in lead roles. The film marked as the last film of Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor passed away on June 14, 2020. Mukesh Chhabra debuted in the film industry with Sushant’s film Dil Bechara. The film is a remake of Hollywood film The Fault in Our Stars (2014) based on a book of the same name.
Mukesh Chhabra took to his X and gave hints of making Dil Bechara 2. He wrote ‘Dil Bechara 2’ which divided the internet. Some emotionally said they look forward to it whereas others disapproved the same.
Recently while talking to News18 Showsha, Mukesh revealed that he will never make the sequel of the film. He said, “Yes, I tweeted about it because I was genuinely planning on making Dil Bechara 2. Dil Bechara is a very special film for me because of so many emotions attached to it and, of course, Sushant. So, I realised that I shouldn’t touch that film,”
He also shared that he doesn’t want to make the film without Sushant. He said, “I was making a film which I wanted to name ‘Dil Bechara 2’ but that title will always belong to Sushant. I don’t want to use that name. I don’t want to cash on that film ever now. I want to keep its beauty intact.”
Dil Bechara was released just after a month of his tragic death. Mukesh says the film will always remain close to him as it was their first collaboration as an actor-director duo. He said, “While we were making Dil Bechara, there were conversations with Sushant on collaborating again soon. I’m someone who likes working with the same people I’ve worked in the past with as is the case with Ayan (Mukerji) and Ranbir (Kapoor),”
He further added, “I also wanted to work with Sushant on three-four other films. It was my dream. When it comes to even casting, Imtiaz (Ali) and I’ve worked on so many films. Sometimes, we like repeating our own people because we’re more comfortable with and understand each other well. But Sushant had other plans. And we can’t beat that [fate]”.
When asked about his fondest memory with Sushant, he said, “I’ll always remember every single moment I’ve spent with Sushant. I remember having meals with him and my mother. Both of them aren’t here now. I miss having breakfast with the two of them.”
Dil Bechara was released on Disney+Hotstar. The film had a rating of 8.6/10. On its release on July 24, 2020, the film on its premiere day got 95 million views and had marked a monumental record of Indian movie.
