The film Paani was not made because of creative differences with Shekhar Kapur and had nothing to do with Sushant Singh Rajput, said filmmaker Aditya Chopra, in his recorded statement with the Mumbai Police on Saturday pertaining to the deceased actor's suicide case.

As per the police officers involved in the case, Chopra was questioned about his movie Paani that was shelved later. The film was to be directed by Shekhar Kapur and had Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role.
