Sushant Singh Rajput’s lookalike Sachin Tiwari is starring in the upcoming film Suicide or Murder, supposedly based on the late actor’s life. The film is being directed by Shamik Maulik and produced by Vijay Shekhar Gupta. On Wednesday, the makers released a poster introducing its villain, a ‘big shot’ film producer named Nepoking. The character is being essayed by model Rana.

“He is a Big Shot Film Producer. But he only launches star kids. Introducing Rana as ‘The Nepoking’ in Suicide or Murder,” read a post by VSG Binge.

Earlier, Sachin had shared his first-look poster on social media. “A boy from small town became a Shining Star in the film industry. This is his journey. Introducing Sachin Tiwari as ‘The Outsider’,” he had written.

Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide in Mumbai on June 14. He was 34. Director Shamik Maulik recently clarified that the film is ‘not a biopic’ but an exploration of how young talent falls prey in the industry.
