Kai Po Che was directed by Abhishek Kapoor and also starred Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh. Their performances were lauded by critics and got Sushant more film offers. He went on to star in Shudh Desi Romance, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Raabta and Kedarnath.

Sushant will now be seen in Sonchiriya, Drive and Chhichhore. Sonchiriya will release on February 8.
