On Monday, Mumbai Police had recorded the statement of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in connection with investigation into the case.
The veteran filmmaker has told the police that Sushant was eager to be a part of his upcoming film Sadak 2, but the late actor was not offered any role in the film, according to a report in indiatoday.in. The filmmaker added he always had in his mind Sanjay Dutt, who played the lead in his 1991 directorial "Sadak", to play the lead in the sequel as well.
