Maybe Sushant is really good at multitasking. If people can believe that Rani got her YRF movies because she was sleeping with Adi, SRK's KJo connection got him his Dharma movies, Kat canoodling Salman made her get all her movies, its but natural that some people might think that a similar set-up with someone higher-up is getting Sushant his breaks. It's not as if he looks like Neal Caffrey and acts like Leo deCaprio that any alternate theories will be baseless just by default.

I have followed Sushant's work in Pavitra Rishta and that is why I am not at all surprised that his work today is getting so much praise .
He was fantastic in the show .
What is great is that Abhishek Kapoor and UTV made this film with new comers .Thank God that talented guys are getting a break instead of just the Star sons and those who have big God fathers .This is a welcome change.
Very happy with KPC's success.
I hope Sanjay Leela Bhansali will make a good and interesting film.

Just skimmed this thread, but I can understand why people are so skeptical about Sushant's career. We don't see newcomers, especially ones with no godfather in Bollywood, get offers with big folks like YRF, PK...and well SLB now...or have such hype pre-release either. Its been too long since we've heard of a successful self-made newbie amongst all the Tom, Dick, and Harry Kapoors, Chopras, Khans, Dhawans and god knows who else 😆 Even Ranveer Singh has rumors about how his dad paid YRF to make BBB. ...so for Sushant to get such offers and no such rumors is perhaps a bit weird, for this nepotist industry.

Yeah Sushant is not the best looking guy from TV, nor is he the best actor from TV either. BUT, like I was discussing in one of the threads a few days back with a friend, you don't need just looks or talent to make it here. You need to realize what roles will work, which won't, etc. Sushant is very INTELLIGENT; he's very CREATIVE and has a sound head on his shoulders. He does have charisma and screen presence. I discovered most of this in JDJ, and truth be told I think it's JDJ that did a world of good for Sushant. Before that, he never made a big impact on me.

I have no idea how true this is but I remember hearing somewhere that Aditya Chopra had planned a dance based film and he decided he wanted Sushant in it after seeing JDJ..maybe after Shahid left or was kicked out, they decided to go for a newcomer and thought about Sushant. If you look to see, YRF's movies nowadays are mostly smaller films with the younger actors with 1-2 "big" films a year. I think since all their films started flopping, they started investing in newer talent more and more...smaller budgets, you see. I personally don't find anything too crazy about the SLB film either. Clearly this is not a big role, and he's not gonna get any bigger star to play the husband and second fiddle to PC. Easiest is to look in the newer brigade. ...but if Sushant is doing this, then Ankita might have to be on sets everyday. 😆

Ekta is powerful and she probably did recommend him for KPC like she recommended Prachi for Rock On, but Sushant is much better than Prachi. Also, guys from TV find it easier to break away from their TV images than the women do. The women are too typecast as the sati savitri bahus. ..and Sushant used to be a background dancer in BW too. Didn't he dance in Bunty Aur Babli and at Filmfare and stuff? Maybe he has contacts from there too?

Are you sure he was great in PV? 😆
I thought he did nothing but cry in that serial ! He used to cry more than his female lead apparently 😆

I remember reading somewhere on IF that Farhan Akhtar had been spending time on grooming Sushant. Probably this is all Farhans recommendation n clout that is helping Sushant.
Also i think Sushant's PR is really active in promoting him.

When directors look for newcomers they dont essentially look for one movie or two movie old actors, they look for fresh newcomers mostly. So unless there's a good connection working behind Sushant, i see absolutely no reason forthe hype.

I would be really happy if this guy becomes successful in bolly regardless of any means coz i think he might be talented as well.

Farhan is grooming that Bittoo Boss guy Pulkit Samrat. Pulkit is doing Fukrey, Farhan's next production.

Since Sushant's success is being looked at with doubtful eyes with the reasoning that- 'Rajeev never got such opportunities even though he was so good', here are some facts from a proud Rajeev as well as Sushant fan. (i.e. myself😃) :
1.) Rajeev and Sushant both debuted with small budget movies by UTV Playboy. (Kai Po Che was later taken under UTV directly probably cos the makers felt it had more scope.) Both movies were critically acclaimed, both were hits.
2.) UTV then took both the actors for more films. While Sushant has been offered Imtiaz Ali-UTV produced next (for which we have no confirmation as yet), Rajeev did 'Peter Gaya Kaam Se' with UTV/UTV playboy. (Rt. now am not remembering which one it was) Unfortunately that film was never released- got stuck for some reason. UTV at that time was not as reputed/big a production house as it is now.
3.) Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered films to BOTH actors- I dont know how many people here know that Rajeev too was offered a SLB production called CHENAB GANDHI (based on the life of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan or Frontier Gandhi) with Amitabh Bacchan. Rajeev even signed the film and started preparing for the role. However the film never went on floors. Rajeev lost a lot of time bcos of his shelved projects- like Return Gift, PGKS and CG. In short, he has been unlucky in some ways.😭
Apart from that Rajeev did films with critically acclaimed film makers like Tanuja Chandra, and Anurag Kashyap (he was involved in Shaitan as well as Aamir). So yes, he did get noticed after Aamir and he did get good offers too- but they weren't very big investments cos nobody betted big on people from outside the industry in those days. (today too, actually)
The reason why Rajeev didn't do too well and Sushant is making waves is cos
1.) Rajeev focussed a lot on scripts than names. He is okay working with new directors and small production houses as long as the script excites him, even if it is very risky and not commercial. The one out and out commercial movie he did (will you marry me) was released late and not promoted well. Most of his directors with whom he chose to work are new, and many times his films either get stuck or are not promoted well, eg. Soundtrack. After Aamir, Rajeev had no releases for sometime till Shaitan. Sushant on the other hand, I feel, is looking at scripts AND names. He was offered 9 scripts before KPC- including films from Vishesh films and 'Hate Story'.
2.) Newcomers get more scope these days. YRF is launching not just Sushant, but 8 newcomers this year. Sushant is paired opposite a newcomer in the Maneesh sharma film. In fact, I read one article of how YRF deliberately brought a newcomer in Shahid's place cos they were pissed with him for some reason😆. (Sounded silly to me though) Raju Hirani wanted a newcomer maybe cos he wasn't getting any actor to play second fiddle to Aamir.
3.) Rajeev sucks at PR and marketing😭. He admitted it himself. Sushant is comparatively smart in this dept. He accepted a small role in Peekay and is even doing it for free. When new of him bagging a Raju Hirani project spread it made people sit up and take notice.
I really hope Rajeev gets some seriously good opportunities too- he is a wonderful actor and a very genuine person. He did hint in one interview that he has signed a film with a big banner👏. Waiting.. waiting..
So yeah. the time is good for Sushant as well as Rajeev and all other newcomers.
