The news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic death shocked everyone on June 14, 2020. Sushant was found hanging in his Mumbai flat in Bandra.

The actor earned a name for himself in the film industry by delivering outstanding performances. In 2013, he made the transition from television to film, but did you know he had a backup plan in case he didn’t get a movie for his debut?

Major throwback to in 2015 interview with Rediff.com, Sushant had opened up about shifting from TV to Bollywood and said, “When I quit television, people told me, you are doing a filmmaking course but what if you don’t get a film? I said, ‘I will make my own films’. I had decided that if that happens, I will start a canteen in Film City and I will buy a camera and make my own short film about the canteen and feature in it too. And I know I would be as excited about that as I am right now.”

He emphasised that the aim for the canteen was simply to absorb the energy of Film City, the epicentre of all things showbiz.

“That was not plan B; that was to spend time in Film City because I love Film City. It’s the only place in Mumbai where everybody is shooting something. It’s because of the place it is that I thought of opening a canteen there. I can eat and I can enjoy watching films and I can actually shoot my short film, so that was the place to be,” He added.
