The Last Film of Sushant Singh Rajput: Dil Bechara's Journey to Streaming

The journey of Dil Bechara, the last film of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has been a rollercoaster ride. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release in November 2019, the film faced multiple challenges, including production delays and the global pandemic.

The Delayed Release

Initially set to premiere on November 29, 2019, Dil Bechara was postponed due to post-production delays. The film further had to struggle with a new release date announced for May 8, 2020, which had to be aborted following the shutdown of cinema halls due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Release on Disney Hotstar

Despite these setbacks, the late Sushant Singh Rajput's last film is finally making its way to viewers. The film is now available on Disney Hotstar on July 24, 2021, for both subscribers and non-subscribers alike. Some have wondered why this film was not released in theaters like Sooryavanshi—which did premiere in theaters on Diwali. However, there is no plan for a cancellation of the film release.

A Tribute to the Late Actor

Dil Bechara tells the story of young love and is an adaptation of John Green's 2012 bestselling novel, The Fault in Our Stars. The film, which marks the directorial debut of casting director Mukesh Chhabra, was produced by T-Series. The production started in June 2018, making it a late entry even before the pandemic struck.

Beyond the delays, the release on OTT platforms serves as a way to pay tribute to the late actor. With the uncertainty of cinema halls reopening due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, streaming has become a fitting platform to share this emotional journey with a wider audience. To honor Sushant, Disney Hotstar has made the film accessible to everyone, subscribers and non-subscribers alike.

Anticipating Free Viewing

With the Corona Virus continuing to pose challenges, it's no wonder that many are turning to Disney Hotstar to enjoy a free viewing of Dil Bechara on July 24. The streaming platform will ensure that fans can relive the memories of Sushant Singh Rajput through this beautiful film. So, stay home and enjoy this tribute to the late actor.
