According to reports, Sushant has announced to make his next biopic movie, titled Rifleman as his next project. Rifleman, the film is reportedly said to be based on the story of the one-man-army, Jaswant Singh Rawat who lost his life while protecting the country at the border in the present-day Arunachal Pradesh during the Sino-Indian War in 1962. While Sushant had earlier said in an interview that he had an array of projects for the coming days, he thought it would be perfect to make the news of this one official on the occasion of Army Day.
