Yesterday, the Bandra police had asked for a copy of the contract signed between Sushant Singh Rajput and Yash Raj Films (YRF) to be submitted for investigation. Sushant had worked in two YRF films - Shuddh Desi Romance (2013) and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015). Shuddh Desi Romance was his second film, and at the time it was widely reported that Sushant had bagged a three-movie deal with YRF.
Sushant was also roped in for Shekhar Kapur's Paani, which was announced at Cannes. The film was supposed to be bankrolled by Yash Raj. However, the film was later shelved.
