MUMBAI: After Sushant Singh Rajput’s death due to suicide there were reports of the actor being out of work. However, filmmaker Rumi Jaffery has opened up about the same and has claimed of these news reports to be null and void. As per reports in Deccan Chronicle the actor was signed for a movie to be directed by Rumi and produced by Vashu Bhagnani. He has also confirmed during  conversation with the publication of the actor not suffering with financial crisis. 

Claiming all the reports false, Rumi said, “I was disturbed by some news channels insinuating that he had no work and was depressed because of that. He was doing my film. A lot of people, who knew that he was visiting my house often, also wanted to work with him, but he had refused even though he was being paid a lot of money. He had enough money and was not short of it at all. Actors get money today for appearances etc., too apart from doing films.”
