After Sushant Singh Rajput broke the wall, I was able to make my Bollywood debut with Bhatt camp: Gurmeet Choudhary

When Sushant Singh Rajput passed away, Gurmeet Choudhary had taken to his Twitter page and wrote, "So much to say. But to sum it up you inspired so many of us brother. You paved the path. But why would you do this? Shocked and no, I cannot believe. Rest in peace wherever you are." Now, during a video interview, Gurmeet spoke about the same that it was Sushant who inspired him to make a transition from television to films.

He stated, "Sushant has paved the way for us in Bollywood. If he would not have been successful there, perhaps the filmmakers would have rejected me too, stating why would they pay to watch me in theatres since they have already seen me a lot on TV. Sushant changed Bollywood’s approach to TV stars. After Sushant broke that wall, I was able to make a Bollywood debut with the Bhatt camp film, Khamoshiyaan."

The Geet actor added, "My family and friends call me up and ask me not to take the wrong step and assure me that they will watch my films, come what may. This is a very competitive industry and everyone is scared that their career might finish if they deliver a flop film."

Gurmeet has starred in four Bollywood films by making his debut with Khamoshiyan in 2015. Soon after that, he was seen in Wajah Tum Ho, Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana. He played the role of Capt. Prithvi Singh Dagar in 2018 release Paltan directed by JP Dutta.
