Sushant really perfected Dhoni’s helicopter shot: Arun Pandey

“A sequel has been long crossing his mind and there were thinking of coming up with something at some point of time but given what happened today, everything is now meaningless,” said Pandey as quoted by ABP news.

“I am absolutely shocked. I am at a total loss of words. He was a very cheerful person and we spent almost 100 days at a stretch together and during the time we became very close,” he added.

Pandey also reminisced that Sushant was a very humble guy and he really put in a lot of hard work while preparing to play Dhoni’s role. Sushant also perfected Dhoni’s trademark ‘helicopter shot’ for the role.

“Deep within he was a child, his exuberance and little things he liked to do, we had a lot of fun on the sets. Also, he really put in a lot of hard work, he wanted to make sure he looked the part, not just his outside appearance but also his mannerisms and of course his cricketing shots. Everyone remembers the video where he perfected the helicopter shot,” recalled Pandey.
