Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor’s film Chhichhore, has completed two years of its release today. The comedy-age drama also featured Varun Sharma, Tushar Pandey, Saharsh Kumar Shukla, Naveen Polishetty, Tahir Raj Bhasin, and Prateik Babbar, and showcased the story of seven college friends.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film conveyed the message that failure is nothing to be ashamed about. The film emerged as a blockbuster at the box office and also fetched a National Film Award for Best Feature Film In Hindi at the 67th National Film Awards. However, the movie also turned out to be the last film of SSR to release theatrically before his untimely demise last year.
As the movie completes two years today, Mohammad Samad, who essayed Sushant and Shraddha’s son in the film, remembers his on-screen father. He shares, “Whenever Sushant sir was with me, it felt really good. I loved talking to him. I went to his house even a few times to talk to him and sometimes even to a party. So, I had a great bond with him and he treated me as his own kid on the sets of Chhichhore. Also, I had a great equation with Nitesh sir and Shraddha ma’am and that made it all a very wonderful experience.”
Ask Samad what he learned from Sushant while working with him, and he counts a lot of things. “I learned a lot about acting from Sushant sir. He would explain to me how to go through things and he did that with so much patience and calmness. He used to feel that since I was just an 18-year-old kid, he should explain things to me very calmly and carefully,” he added.
” During the hospital sequences, I had the prosthetics on and it used to give me a headache when put on, so he used to pay attention and keep a lot of care so that it doesn’t hurt me much. After that, he would even invite me to parties at his home. So, from him, I learned to do your work, chill, and acknowledge things that come your way,” the actor reminisces.
