After Drive, Sushant Singh Rajput's 'Fault In Our Stars' Hindi Remake Dil Bechara Headed For Netflix?
Sushant SIngh Rajput's Dil Bechara might head to Netflix, skipping the theatrical release. If this happens this would be the second Sushant starrer to go through this after this month's Drive. Dil Bechara, a remake of The Fault In Our Stars, has also been pushed to an uncertain 2020 release date.
