Shekhar Kapur is hopeful of making his long-in-the-planning Paani and dedicating it to Sushant Singh Rajput. The filmmaker had signed the late actor, but the Yash Raj production got shelved. "It has to be made with partners who walk in humility, not in arrogance," Kapur posted. He had announced the film, dealing with water scarcity, almost 20 years ago. At that time, he had pencilled in Vivek Oberoi post the success of Company (2002). There was also buzz about Hrithik Roshan being considered.





Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was signed to play the film's lead, passed away in Mumbai last month. He was found hanging at his residence on June 14. Postmortem report stated that the actor committed suicide. Mumbai Police is still investigating the death.

Kapur had signed Sushant for his most recent sci-fi venture 'Paani' opposite actor Anushka Sharma.
