Exclusive: Here’s what Rumy Jafry has to say about reviving the film he planned with Sushant Singh Rajput

After Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, apart from Dil Bechara, there was one more film of the actor that had made it to the headlines. We are talking about Rumy Jafry’s movie which was supposed to star Sushant and Rhea Chakraborty in the lead roles.

While the film had not gone on the floors, Sushant had given his nod to do it. A few months ago, there were reports that Rumy Jafry is planning to revive the project with another actor.


Recently, when we interacted with Jafry, we asked him about the reports of him reviving the project, to which he said, “No, that’s not true. But, after his demise, a lot of people have approached me for the film because everyone knows that Sushant was quite choosy with the scripts. So, if he had finalised a script, it will be a good script.”

“As a writer, we visualise the character. So, whenever I think about that story, it reminds me of Sushant. So for now, I have kept that script in the locker. After some time I will decide if I want to make that film and with whom I want to make it. But, right now it’s not happening,” the filmmaker added.

Rumy Jafry made his directorial comeback with Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi starrer Chehre. The film, which also stars Rhea Chakraborty in a pivotal role, released in theatres on Friday (27).

'Doctor Who' gets a 2026 Christmas lifeline as BBC ends Disney+ partnership

Highlights:

  • A new Doctor Who Christmas special is confirmed for 2026, written by Russell T Davies.
  • The BBC’s global partnership with Disney+ has ended after two seasons.
  • The BBC says it’s “fully committed” and will announce full series plans later.
  • Spin-off ‘The War Between the Land and the Sea’ and a CBeebies animation are still on the way.

Looks like the Doctor will be making another Christmas stop. The BBC says Doctor Who will return in 2026 with a festive special, a quiet way of telling fans the TARDIS isn’t going anywhere, even as its deal with Disney+ ends.

The announcement ends months of speculation about the sci-fi institution, which hasn't been on screen since Ncuti Gatwa’s final episode in May, which ended with the surprise appearance of Billie Piper. The special will be written by showrunner Russell T Davies, but the big news is the end of the Disney+ deal, which had handled the show’s distribution outside the UK since 2022.
