New Delhi:
Sushant Singh Rajput’s latest film Dil Bechara to be released on Disney + Hotstar on July 24, the directors said on Thursday, overwhelming the actor’s fans. Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. Sushant died by suicide, according to police, who are investigating. Shortly after the release date was announced on Thursday, Dil Bechara has taken pride of place on Twitter trends, with fans criticizing the manufacturers’ decision to broadcast it on an OTT platform instead of reserving the film for theaters when things get back to normal. “It’s not fair. We want Dil Bechara to be released in theaters, so that we have the chance to turn his latest film into a blockbuster in tribute to Sushant Singh Rajput, “said a tweet while another added:” I wanted him to hit theaters but the world is not the place where each of our wishes comes true. “

I wanted him to go to the theater, but the world is not the place where each of our wishes comes true. I wanted to encourage him for the last time but it’s okay. At least they will free him. Be ready to cry your hearts guys. #DilBechara

In more tweets, users called Fox Star Studios, which produces Dil Bechara and has previously supported Sushant films such as Chhichhore and MS Dhoni: the untold story, for having released the latest Sushant film on Disney + Hotstar. “I want a theatrical outing. It’s ridiculous,” one angry user tweeted while another added, “We all want to see Dil Bechara indoors, not on the OTT platform. It is not fair. “Another fan of the late actor summed up the emotion on Twitter and wrote:” At least one more … the last time … let’s watch it on the big screen. “Sushant fans want to honor the late actor with a standing ovation as a final farewell,” said a tweet, “Release him in theaters so we can at least give him a standing ovation for his work.”

Dil Bechara marks the start of production for casting director Mukesh Chhabra, who was a close friend of Sushant. In an emotional post sharing the film’s release date, Mukesh Chhabra wrote that Sushant kept his promise: “Sushant was not only the hero of my first film as a director but he was a dear friend who followed me through the thicknesses and the skinny. We were close since Kai Po Che at Dil Bechara. He promised me that he would be in my first film. “
Dil Bechara would be based on the novel by John Green The fault in our stars. The film will also mark the debut of actress Sanjana Sanghi in a lead role, who shared several tributes relating to Sushant after his death. The film also stars actress Swastika Mukherjee and will feature Saif Ali Khan in a cameo.
Meanwhile, while the lockout restrictions are relaxed, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said a decision should be made regarding the reopening of movie theaters after assessing the state of the coronavirus pandemic in the country this month.
