Sushant is just a small chapter in my life, says miffed Anushka Sharma

While merrily lashing out at"competition" (read Deepika Padukone),
Anushka Sharma also took a snipe at Sushant Singh Rajput,
stating:"Sushant has only eight days of work (in Raj Kumar Hirani's
PeeKay ). He is just a small chapter in my life."

Taking deep umbrage to what is being seen as an attempt toundervalue
newcomer Rajput, a source said: "Isn't Anushka pissed off about her
colleagues trying to downplay and downsize her stardom? Then why is
she doing the same to another colleague? Why is Anushka commenting on
the length and breadth of aco-star's role? How does she know the size
of Sushant's role? No one except probably Aamir has read the full
script."
Setting the record straight, the source said: "Yes, it's a relatively
small role. At a time when he (Rajput) is playing the lead in a
Yashraj Film, he has agreed to do the role in PeeKay for one reason
only. Rajkumar Hirani. It was Sushant's dream to work with Hirani.
When he was offered the role, Sushant was over the moon. Hirani warned
him it's a small but important role. Sushant said, 'Doesn't matter
sir, even if you ask me to walk from one side of the frame to the
other I'd do it'."
Apparently Sushant has not charged a single penny for the part.
The source added: "Hirani gave Sushant Rs.20 as the signing amount and
asked him what he'd like as his fee. Sushant refused any payment,got
the Rs.20 laminated, framed it and hung it on the wall of his living
room. That's the kind of regard Sushant has for Raj Kumar Hirani."
Sushant role in PeeKay would be billed as a friendly appearance. "He
will be seen at the beginning of the film. Hischaracter then
disappears and reappears at the end," said the source.
"Anushka wants her colleagues to stop commentingon her roles. She
should follow what she preaches," the source added.
Sushant Singh Rajput remained unavailable for comment.
