Sushant Singh Rajput is set to make foray into bollywood with Rock On director Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che based on Chetan Bhagat's book The 3 Mistakes Of My Life. After quitting his TV show in October 2011, Sushant lay low for a while to prepare for his film debut. He chose to do the ground work for his lead role as Ishaan in this film. After he left Pavitra Rishta he rejected 7-8 films offered to him and waited for the right choice. Sushant was also offered Aashiqui 2 from the bhatt camp before the role went to Aditya Roy Kapoor." Apart from Aashiqui 2, he also let go a three film contract with Yash Raj Films which also included Aurangzeb with Arjun Kapoor. "He was under a two film contract with UTV. And thus couldn't bag these lucrative offers. Prior to offers from the Bhatt camp and Yash Raj banner, Sushant was approached for a Hollywood project. "The film was about female foeticide but he did not like the script. His priority is not about having a break and making money. But Sushant is excited by quality work. Sushant is not keen on doing hero-centric roles. He is ready to do any role as long as it's challenging.
Best friends Ishaan (Sushant), Omi and Govind young, ambitious and restless are trying to make a mark in the India of the early 2000's. These are exciting times a new millennium has just dawned, India's a nuclear power and ostensibly shining a perfect place for the 3 Ahmedabad boys to start a business that could be their ticket to fame and riches. In a country where cricket is religion, they hit upon a brilliant plan to start a training academy that could produce India's next sporting superstars! What follows is without doubt the greatest adventure of their lives, as they attempt to navigate the big hurdles in the path of fulfilling their dreams. Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel "The 3 Mistakes of My Life", Kai Po Che (meaning a triumphant yell in Gujarati) is an unforgettable ode to friendship and the magical moments one shares with one's closest pals celebrating festivals, drunken dancing, watching cricket matches together, strategizing on how to catch the attention of the cute neighborhood girl, being there to watch each other's back in troubled times and to celebrate one's successes by screaming "Kai Po Che"!
Sushant as Ishaan
Sushant plays the character of Ishaan, who is quite myopic but good at heart. The character of Ishaan in the movie is a big fan of cricket and dreams of opening a training academy. Sushant is trying his best to step into 'cricket mode' and enact his character well.
Peekay
Sushant will be seen playing parallel lead in Rajkumar Hiran's Peekay along with Aamir Khan and Anushaka Sharma. The film will be released on 25th December 2013. The film is reported to be a political satire, with Aamir playing P.K., an alcoholic social crusader. The film's title, Peekay, echos Aamir's character's name as well as his drinking habits. Sushant's character is yet to be known.
