Sushant Singh Rajput brought magic on screen with his portrayal of 'Mansoor' in the heart-wrenching love story. His innocence and nobility made it easier for the audience to fall in love with him. The movie that marked Sara Ali Khan's Bollywood debut was an inter-faith love story set around the tragic and infamous Kedarnath floods and landslides that took the lives of many in 2013.
Even though Sushant appeared in the movie for a brief while only, his role in the film was an impactful one. Sushant played a Pakistani boy Sarfaraz who falls in love with an Indian girl Jaggu (played by Anushka Sharma). People fell in love with his charm and critics praised him for his honesty and simplicity on screen.
Sushant transitioned from a TV Actor to a Bollywood star with Kai Po Che. He played the role of failed cricketer who was obsessed with the sport and ended up becoming a coach. Co-starring alongside Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh, Sushant aced his part and gave the industry the best debut performance that year.
Sushant delivered another splendid performance in Chhichhore which turned out to be a huge box office hit. Touted to be his best performance, Sushant swiftered through different shades of his character Aniruddh Pathak, an engineering graduate battling divorce whose world comes crashing when his only son tries to commit suicide after failing an engineering entrance exam. Oscillating between a colourful past and tensed present, Sushant showcased a plethora of emotions throughout the film and won millions of hearts!
