According to sources, the director was returning home from a shooting
schedule at Mumbai's Rajkamal Studios, when he complained of extreme
exhaustion and fatigue. He was taken to Nanavati Hospital, where
he later died of a massive cardiac arrest.
Currently, he was working on Pritish Nandy Communications production
Chameli starring Kareena Kapoor and Rahul Bose.
His first tryst with cinema was in 1989Gawahi (1989), with
Zeenat Aman, Ashutosh Gowariker, Shekhar Kapur and Ranjeeta- was
a dud at the box-office. Ditto for his next Patthar Ke Phool
(1991), starring Raveena Tandon and Salman Khan. But he had
resurfaced with Joggers' Park (Victor Banerjee, Perizaad
Zorabian) and Mumbai Matinee (Rahul Bose, Perizaad Zorabian).
The former one was for Mukta Arts, while the latter was for PNC
Communications. Both the flicks are slated to release in September.
His Ek Din (Rahul Bose, Nandita Das) is due for release by
the end of the year.
Joggers' Park also stars Hiten Tejwani aka Karan of Kyunki...
as Perizaad's rejected boyfriend. While Joggers Park deals
with the story of a young girl who falls in love with a man more
than double her age and dumps her boyfriend, Mumbai Matinee
is an equally bold subject revolving around a 32-year old guy desperate
to lose his virginity.
It remains to be seen whether PNC Communications goes ahead on
Chameli with a new director.
