On Friday, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Sushant Singh Rajput’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani from Hyderabad and brought him to Mumbai. He has been arrested in the drug case linked to the actor’s death.

An official told PTI, “Pithani’s alleged role in the drug case, that emerged post the actor’s death, came to light during the NCB’s investigation and hence he was arrested.”

The official said that a team of the NCB, led by Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, had launched a search for Pithani who was traced in Hyderabad.

Pithani was staying with Sushant at his Bandra residence in suburban Mumbai, and was there in the house when the actor was found hanging in his room. Last year, Mumbai police, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had questioned Pithani regarding the actor’s demise.

Last year, during their probe, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had also questioned Bollywood celebs like Deepika Padukone, Rahul Preet Singh, Shraddha Kapoor, and Sara Ali Khan. Sushant's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, was also arrested by NCB and after a month was released on a bail.

Sushant Singh Rajput passed away on 14th June 2020.

Atlee recalls the bet he had with Shah Rukh Khan about 'mass character' in Jawan

The 2023 blockbuster Jawan made huge waves as Shah Rukh Khan made his first collaboration with Atlee. In the movie, SRK was seen in a double role – Vikram Rathore and Azad. Director of the movie Atlee says he never thought the former would become the ‘mass character’. In an interview, he admitted that he even had a ‘bet’ going on with King Khan as to who would be hailed as the mass character.

He was speaking at a promotional event hosted for team Baby John. Atlee candidly talked about his directorial Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan. Atlee shared, “I said, ‘Sir (SRK), you wait and watch; Vikram Rathore is going to be the mass character.’ He just looked at me and said, ‘No, sir. Girls like me, Azad will be the mass.’ I said, ‘Okay sir, bet sir bet.’ But exactly after seeing the film, he said, ‘Boss, you were right.' He just told me, ‘You are right. Vikram Rathore is the mass; everybody loved it.’”
