Shekhar Kapur's shelved movie Paani, which was announced in 2013, was based on the climate crisis. The late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was supposed to play the lead role in the movie, but the film didn't go into production. After the sudden death of the actor, Shekar Kapur tweeted that he would dedicate it to Sushant if it ever gets made. He tweeted, "If you want to journey with the Gods, or your creativity, you have to walk each step in devotion. In humility. God willing #Paani will get made one day. If it does, I will dedicate it to Sushant. But it has to be made with partners that walk in humility, not in arrogance."
