Sushant Singh Rajput Is Next Big?
by Box Office India (September 8, 2012)
Time and again, actors make the transition from small screen to big screen but invain. Isn't it just about everyone's dream to do a Shah Rukh Khan, whose journey after the small screen is already the stuff of history? But there's something different about Sushant Singh Rajput, who has had a successful stint on the telly.
Sources close to the actor tell us that even though many big filmmakers had approached Rajput, he didn't give in and went ahead only when UTV Motion Pictures struck a two-film deal with him. His first film as leading man, Kai Po Che!, being directed by Abhishek Kapoor, is expected to release early next year.
Now the actor has added another feather to his cap. According to trade sources, Rajkumar Hirani has signed him to play the second hero in his film Peekay. The source reveals that Hirani was extremely moved with the screen test the newbie did for the film.
PS: We're told that Rajput was also approached by Yash Raj Films for a three-film deal but the actor had already signed on the dotted line with UTV. But when Hirani approached Rajput, neither the actor nor the corporate house could say 'no' to him.
