Sushant and Abhishek worked together for the second time in 2018’s Kedarnath, which also served as the Bollywood debut of actor Sara Ali Khan. Author Chetan Bhagat, upon whose novel Kai Po Che was based, wrote on Twitter, “Sushant, you were a friend and inspiration. You were my favorite. I used to give your example everywhere. I still can’t believe this. This should not have happened. Love you always, rest in peace.”

The actor was found dead at his sixth floor apartment in Bandra (West). While the police have confirmed that he has died by suicide, no ‘note’ was found from his residence. Sushant’s team shared a message for his fans: “It pains us to share that Sushant Singh Rajput is no longer with us. We request his fans to keep him in their thoughts and celebrate his life, and his work like they have done so far. We request media to help us maintain privacy at this moment of grief.”
