In the glitzy yet sensitive world of Indian cinema some names are known not just for their creative genius but also for the storms they occasionally stir. One such celebrated filmmaker who once collaborated with the late Sushant Singh Rajput on a project that still resonates with fans found himself in the eye of a public outrage. His words intended or misinterpreted sparked widespread backlash opening old wounds and raising questions about respect timing and empathy. Bollywood Director… Here we are talking about director Dibakar Banerjee who is a well-known Indian director producer and screenwriter. Before entering the film industry he worked in advertising for a long time as a copywriter creating commercials for major brands. In 2006 he made his directorial debut with the film ‘Khosla Ka Ghosla’ featuring powerful actors like Anupam Kher and Boman Irani. With this film Dibakar demonstrated his ability to convey significant themes with simplicity. It was well-received by audiences and won the National Award for Best Hindi Film in 2007. However Dibakars name has also been associated with controversy. He drew media attention for his film ‘LSD 2’ but an even bigger uproar occurred when he commented on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. His remarks angered many leading to social media backlash and trolling. The Time When Dibakar Gave His Opinion On Sushant Singh Rajput In a YouTube interview with Siddharth Kannan Dibakar expressed his views on Sushants death stating that people were more interested in sensational gossip rather than genuinely mourning the loss. He noted When Sushant died there was a lot of speculation in the news regarding the cause of his death. I needed to distance myself from it all. I was listening to everything lekin tab maine dekha ki log bas masaledar gossip hi dhundh rahe the maine kisi ko bhi nahi dekha shok ya uske liye gham manaate hue. There was no conversation about how a young actor had passed away. Everyone was more focused on conspiracy theories—who provided drugs to Sushant who was responsible for his death. Where were the tributes? Where were the discussions about the impact of his films? Those who genuinely loved him should have held screenings of his movies and talked about them.
