The reports added that when Mumbai Police questioned YRF about the same, they could not provide an answer to it.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s third film with YRF was expected to be Paani. The movie was supposed to be helmed by Shekhar Kapur. The third film could not be made due to the creative difference between Aditya Chopra of YRF and Shekhar Kapur, reports added.

The 3 film deal is basically a disgusting tactic by yrf to rob the actors . I hate YRF and feel terrible for SSR.
