The Hindi film industry is shocked by the sudden and untimely demise of Sanjay Gadhvi. The director, best known for helming action thriller films like Dhoom and Dhoom 2, passed away on Sunday morning following a heart attack. He was to celebrate his 58th birthday on November 22.
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta says Gadhvi remains the same great guy he knew from his schooling days in South Mumbai, where the latter used to stay. “We worked together for Sippy Films. He was assisting Anant Balani, who also is no more, I was doing sound designing for Patthar Ke Phool. Even after he achieved success with films like Dhoom and Dhoom 2, he remained the same genuinely wonderful person he always was.” The Mumbai Saga director shares he will remember his namesake for his personality and his energy. “He was always positive, a nice person. I never saw him stressed about anything.”
