"I guess after working in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Sushant Singh Rajput earned a lot of fame. He had done a sports-based film, and usually, the sportspersons have better mental stability. Sushant lived the character of MS Dhoni while shooting for the film. He was definitely a very good actor. I heard somewhere that he was going to feature in the second part of MS Dhoni's biopic."

Singh further stated that he could not understand the reason why he took such an extreme step. Besides, he explained how an individual could fall victim to depression.

"During this lockdown period, many people are losing jobs. I don't know when the pandemic will end. Everyone has been affected by it, but one should not make such an extreme call. If negative thoughts come in mind, one should avoid them," VRV Singh said.
