I’m still thinking about the audio tape and Rheas Sardesai interview.
So per the audio clip, sushant said he was fighting his mind/ fighting for his mind, and that he wasn’t sure he’d be able to act. Thus, went to a Financial Advisor with Rhea and wanted to potentially set up a Trust. This potentially involved a move out of Mumbai, According to Rhea, they would try Goa for a couple of months, or Pavana (where the 2nd male voice was like properties are about 50-60L per acre)
But per Rheas interview, she never mentioned any of those places. She said Sushant ( and her) were thinking to move to Coorg, at the very least split time between Coorg and Mumbai, maybe Sushant can do movie a year.
Then, when it to the portion of the video talking about money and her being a user, she said sushant came by to drop her at the Chehre shooting, met Rumi Jaffrey, and wanted to a play with him, but settled on a hero no 1 remake or something along those lines. Vasu Bagnani was involved and 15cr payment was discussed but postponed due to COVID.
Now, to me none of this makes ANY SENSE.
Let’s assume a May 2019- early 2020 timeline. Sushant décides hé wants to move out of Bollywood; Goa, Pavana, Coorg are all on the table, plans for his worst case scenario, but decides to make a movie with Rumi/Rhea, ropes in Vashu Bagnani?
Going off Wiki and news about casting changes in Nov 2019, Rhea’s Chehre was filmed between May 2019 to Dec 2019. Meeting Rumi, discussion for the play, movie had to have happened around this time (cuz he could have met Rumi first, when Rhea was filing for Chehre, then formed their bond).
So does this mean this meeting with Financial Advisor happen before this? And if so, isn’t that quite a short timeline to change your mind about something so drastic?
If I were to guess, based on Rheas interview + audio tape; she mentioned twice that she wanted to star in a movie with him. She likely tried to get SSR to make a movie with Rumi Jaffrey (his movies aren’t typical SSR movies) , have it coproduced by one of their companies, tried to rope in Vashu Bagnani and when Covid happened and things flopped, she had enough of babysitting a potentially mentally ill person, and walked out.
