“Keeping in view the professional angle, police have started calling some prominent production houses for inquiry. As part of that, police on Thursday sent a letter to Yash Raj Films, seeking details of all the contracts it had signed with the deceased actor,” a senior police officer said.<\/p>\n
“We have also asked for the copies of the contracts that Yash Raj Films had signed with the actor,” he added.<\/p>\n
In the next few days, police may also call those people, who had played a role in signing of contracts between the actor and the production houses for their projects, the officer said.<\/p>\n
