Shekhar Kapur shares an UNSEEN picture from the research bank for ‘Paani’ which was to feature Sushant Singh Rajput

Shekhar Kapur was to direct Sushant Singh Rajput for his ambitious venture titled ‘

Paani

’. Sharing an unseen picture from the research bank for the film, Shekhar Kapur wrote, “Shot 12 years ago. Part of huge bank of #Paani research pics/illustrations. The film script is about a future city where the wealthy take all the water. And then use water as a weapon of political and social control. It’s a cautionary tale of what’s coming if we’re not careful.”


Earlier, the filmmaker had revealed that if ever ‘Paani’ is made, he would dedicate the film to Sushant. “If you want to journey with the Gods, or your creativity, you have to walk each step in devotion. In humility. God willing #Paani will get made one day. If it does, I will dedicate it to Sushant. But it has to be made with partners that walk in humility, not in arrogance,” Shekhar Kapur had shared.



While a lot has been said about Shekhar Kapur and Sushant Singh Rajput collaborating for ‘Paani’, there has been no clarity on why the film was eventually shelved.
