Post the tragic demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, actress Rhea Chakraborty has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. The Sonali Cable star, was arrested and released on bail by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on drug-related charges in the Sushant Singh Rajput case. In a recent interview with Mid-Day, Rumi Jaffery revealed that his next film Chehre starring Amitabh Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi and Rhea Chakraborty is almost ready for release and will be hitting the theatres in 2021. "Anand Pandit (film's producer) has decided to pursue a theatrical release. We need to support the exhibitors," Jaffery told the portal. However, the film's release date has not yet been finalised.
Speaking about Rhea's career's ahead given that the year she has had in 2020, Jaffery said, "I am confident she will get through this phase. Everybody around will advise you to be brave, but only the one going through knows how difficult it is. Time is the best healer; with time, she will be fine. She is a talented artiste and will be ready to bounce back." He added that he has the 'highest regard' for all those who stood by Rhea during the difficult time and said that actress should also get a fair trial. Rumi, who recently met Rhea, said, in an earlier interview, “She was withdrawn and quiet. Didn’t speak much. Can’t blame her after what she has gone through. Let the heat and dust settle down. I’m sure Rhea will have a lot to say,” he said. Earlier, Rhea’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde urged the CBI to make their findings public, as ‘it is high time that there is a closure’ to Sushant’s death. “She was arrested in a bogus case with no evidence by NCB. She was harassed by various agencies and remained in custody for almost a month till the Bombay High Court released her on bail,” he said.
