Such Rumours Doing Disservice to Sushant: Nitesh Tiwari on Akshay Kumar Replacing Late Actor in Murthy Biopic

Now, reacting to the reports, director Nitesh Tiwari told Hindustan Times, “It’s very disheartening to see such baseless rumours. We haven’t yet finished writing the screenplay, we haven’t even shared it with Mr Narayan Murthy and Mrs Sudha Murthy for their approval, our studio partner is not on board yet. How could have we gone about casting the film? I shared a fantastic working relationship with Sushant and together we celebrated the tremendous success of our hard work in Chhichhore. I will forever remember him very fondly. Such rumours are not only doing a disservice to Sushant but also to everyone who is seeking the truth.”
