Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was a talented actor and had given impeccable performances in films such as Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Kedarnath, Chhichhore, Dil Bechara among many others. While he found his way to the audience’s hearts simply because of his acting prowess, he also emerged as the favourite of many directors and producers in the industry. However, owing to the part and parcel of the show-business, the actor also lost out on many opportunities, and some of the films he rejected went on to become super successful at the Box Office. Here’s the list of the nine movies that SSR rejected in his career including AndhaDhun and Padmaavat.
