Sanghi with Rajput in Dil Bechara
Now, Dil Bechara — Rajput's swansong and her debut vehicle — is set to premiere on Disney+Hotstar. She says that sharing her first film with Rajput made the overwhelming journey seem less daunting, exciting even. "In my head, nobody other than Sushant could have played Manny. Both of us were similarly wired — we were crazy about cinema and books, and our perspectives would often align. If I was nervous about a scene, he would notice it, put his arm around me and take me for a walk.
During the stroll, he would run me through the scene and I was good to go after that. Honestly, he has set the bar high for my [future] co-actors."
The Mukesh Chhabra-directed venture is the official adaptation of The Fault in our Stars (2014), which was inspired by John Green's novel of the same name. "When Mukesh told me during the audition that he was adapting the movie, I couldn't believe my luck. They have culturally adapted the script to set the story in Jamshedpur. The theme of the original has been retained, but it has been given a new flavour."
