Prasoon Joshi spoke at length about Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise and expressed that suicide should be taken seriously by any industry. In an interview with Times Now, the lyricist and screenwriter shared, “Suicide is a much bigger concern for me than a murder, because in murder you have a culprit. Suicide is a disease, it is coming out of the fact that something is not right, people are insecure, are not able to cope. It is not a small thing, it is kind of a diagnosis of a disease. It has to be taken seriously by an industry. It is not only about producing a few hit films, life is bigger than films. Out industry has a lot of sensitive people, the need is to make them all join hands constructively.”
