Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide has severely hit Bollywood. One person to have suffered collateral damage due to the sudden and shocking death is Alia Bhatt who actually has nothing to do with Sushant’s death except that she’s being seen as the face of the nepotism that prevails in the Indian entertainment industry.

The worry now is that Alia’s next release Sadak 2 may take a hit because of the temporary erosion in her popularity.

A source close to the project says, “Thankfully the film is being premiered on the digital platform, so the media interaction would be limited. But Alia will nonetheless do very restricted media for Sadak 2. She doesn’t want to get into any kind of uncomfortable situation with the media.”
