Netizens are now sharing Bhagat’s tweet and are blaming Arjun Kapoor for removing Sushant in the film and helping himself with the help of nepotism. Due to this, Arjun Kapoor was in trend on Twitter on Wednesday.
So it was supposed to be Sushant in Half Girlfriend but finally given to Starkid Arjun Kapoor. On whose direction ? 🤔 https://t.co/ILwymnSeme
