He’s a charming dancer, performer, and life of the party.

MC on SSR’s unfulfilled wish
On being asked he knows on any unfulfilled wish of Sushant, the casting director replied, “Woh matlab hum dono ka hi adhoora rah gaya, because jaise hota na, mujhe lagta tha ki ab ek film ke baad apni doosri picture bhi apne ek dost ke saath banate ho na, to mera doosri, teesri, chauthi picture ka jo sapna hai na, ki ek jodi hoti hai na, hum bolte hain ki actor-director ki ek jodi hai, to wo hamara ek wo jo sapna tha wo adhoora rahega. (Actually, it was our dream which remained incomplete. Because, as it happens, I always thought that after one film, we would make our second film together. So, my dream of making the second, third, and fourth films with my friend, as a duo of an actor and director, remains unfulfilled).”
