TikTok star Sachin Tiwari, who came to be a turmoil on social media for his incredible similarity to Sushant Singh Rajput, has been roped in to play the lead role in Vijay Shekhar Gupta’s production ‘Suicide or Murder: A star was lost,’ based on the life of the late Bollywood star.
Gupta said the film will go on floors in mid-September, and it will be shot in Mumbai and Punjab. He added they are glancing a Christmas 2020 release.
Suicide or Murder is not a biopic of Sushant Singh Rajput. It is inspired by the Kai Po Che actor’s life and many other outsiders who allegedly fall prey to nepotism and Bollywood Mafia that prevails in the film industry.
The makers on Monday also revealed the first look poster of Sachin Tiwari as ‘The Outsider’.
In an interview with the Indian Express, Vijay Shekhar Gupta said, “Sushant Singh Rajput’s death by suicide came as a panic to all of us, but it is not unusual. Many actors who come to the industry to accomplish their dreams of making it big here, end up not getting work. Many take this route, and some keep struggling all their lives.
He added, through this movie we wanted to convey a story of small-town actors, with no godfathers in the film industry. One by one other character will be uncovered, I can assure you that this film will definitely unmask the real face of the insiders of Bollywood.”
