He has taken me to his house for parties many times. He used to treat me like his kid off-screen too. During the ICU scene in ‘Chhichhore’, one of my eyes used to be closed and there were many pipes attached to my body, so he used to make sure I was comfortable. He was the one who used to make energy drinks for me. He was very sweet and I really miss him.” he told ETimes.
Furthermore, Mohammad Samad even mentioned how he bagged the role in Chhichhore. Saying that he had offers from Kota Factory, Mardaani 2, Pati Patni Aur Woh and Bala but chose Chhichhore due to its ensemble cast and director Nitesh Tiwari.

“The film appealed to me because it had a big cast and it was being directed by Nitesh Tiwari. I had actually auditioned for ‘Bhoothnath Returns’ too. I was amongst the top five kids selected for the role. However, I was unable to understand the typical Dharavi language, so I didn’t make the cut. I was waiting for another opportunity to work with him, and I finally got ‘Chhichhore’.” he added.
Chhichhore was Sushant’s last film that was released in theatres. The film emerged as a blockbuster and it received the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 67th National Film Awards.
