Being a superstar really is a frame of mind. Sushant Singh Rajput proves that. The man is the only TV to-film success story around right now, and it has been an extraordinary journey albeit rock and not necessarily comfortable. In recent times, he might not have had a resounding hit, but nobody complained about him. Be it Kedarnath or Sonchiriyan, while the films didn’t fare well at the bxc office, Rajput’s performances were appreciated. Even when we shot him for this cover, the man, just back from a road trip to Ladakh, didn’t let any lethargy show on camera. When eyes are on him, Sushant Singh Rajput knows how to make a swift and very suave shift from the boy-next-door to the studly superstar this country has known to fall in love with.
What is your frame of mind right now?
You want one word? I didn’t think about this until you asked me. I’m just looking forward to what I’m going to say or do next.
And what is happening next? What are your plans for 2019?
I don’t plan like that, but yes, I know what I need to do. There are a few things I’m really concerned about, in a good way, and also in a very serious way. I and a group of friends are doing things about stuff that we regard as important. My film called Chhichore is releasing on the 30th of August and I’m really looking forward to it.
Can you describe your role? What’s the film about?
