Vande Mataram was a patriotic satire: Dream Girl director Raaj Shandilya on film with Sushant Singh Rajput

Raaj Shandilya who directed the 2019 hit Dream Girl has written a film that was to star Sushant Singh Rajput.

Spilling the beans Shandilya says, “Yes, I’ve written a film called Vande Mataram which was narrated to Sushant. Turns out, Sushant loved the film.”

The actor was all set to start the film after the lockdown when tragedy struck.

Says Shandilya, “Vande Mataram was a patriotic satire. And very much the perfect fit for Sushant. Who will replace Sushant now? Who can say? It can be anyone now.”

Shandilya who is currently in hometown Jhansi, is writing another comedy which he will soon direct.
