Anurag Kashyap Says Parineeti Chopra Didn’t Want to Work with Sushant Singh Rajput in Hasee Toh Phasee

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has claimed that initially, actress Parineeti Chopra did not want to work with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Speaking to journalist Faye D’Souza, Anurag said Sushant was supposed to do Hasee Toh Phasee with him and for it, he reached out to Parineeti Chopra to play the lead. However, the actress said she doesn’t want to work with a television actor.

Anurag said, “He was supposed to do the film (Hasee Toh Phasee) and we had to find an actress and we reached out to Parineeti Chopra. She said ‘I don’t want to work with a television actor’. So we explained to her that who Sushant Singh is, he is doing Kai Po Che, he is doing PK and by the time Hasee Toh Phasee comes out, he will not just be a television actor. And she was doing a film called Shuddh Desi Romance and she must have gone and spoken to YRF, they called him and said ‘Why don’t you come and do Shuddh Desi Romance and not do that film?’”
