Rajkummar Rao recalls his memories from Kai Po Che, says ‘it was my film with Sushant Singh Rajput, who we all miss dearly’

With Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che, which also starred Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh, Sushant Singh Rajput made his big-screen debut. In a recent conversation, Rajkummar shared his "fond memories" of the movie and reminisced about how much fun the three actors had while filming it.

In a conversation with Humans of Bombay, Rajkummar remarked on how “Kai Po Che was the film that put me on posters all over the city and of course, it was my film with Sushant, who we all miss dearly and I have very fond memories of that film.”  The three of them would frequently laugh aloud, the actor continued.

“Before we started filming, on the sets, and even during promotions, the three of us would just laugh out loud for anything. There’s one interview, I don’t know if you can find it somewhere, the whole interview all of us are just laughing. We would just give half a line’s answer and for five minutes we would just keep laughing. Very very fond memories of Kai Po Che,” he said.

On Chetan Bhagat's podcast, Amit Sadh, who also acted in the movie, discussed his friendship with Sushant Singh Rajput. He claimed that during the filming of Kai Po Che, he and Sushant were like "lovers" because they spent all of their time together. “Not that we were the best of friends but for that one and a half year, we were lovers, even Raj. I have so much love for Raj. If someone speaks ill of Rajkummar or Sushant, I get very angry,” he said.

In Mumbai, Sushant Singh Rajput passed away in June 2020.
