But the reality seems to be very different. At least, our sources feel the same. A source from the industry, who was in talks with the actor for a project, shares on condition of anonymity, "Sushant had enough work to keep him busy till next year-end. He had signed two films and was in advanced talks for another three projects. People who are claiming he was out of work is completely wrong." 

"Sushant was discussing a project with Aanand L Rai under his banner. The Ranjhanaa director loved Sushant's work in all his films and they had been wanting to collaborate for sometime. When Aanand came across a script which perfectly suited Sushant, he had met him and narrated it to him. The actor loved the idea and had even verbally agreed to do it." The actor-filmmaker duo were planning to take it further once the lockdown was over, but now with his sudden death, Aanand is completely distraught.
