Veteran Filmmaker Dheeraj Kumar Is No more

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dheeraj Kumar, a renowned actor, producer, and director, who left us due to cardiac arrest. He was under treatment at Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri West and was on ventilator support.

After his condition turned critical, he was moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he breathed his last.

The family, along with his production team, had released a statement requesting prayers for his speedy recovery.

The industry mourns the loss of a talented professional who contributed significantly to the world of entertainment. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Dheeraj Kumar broke into the entertainment industry in 1965 as a finalist in a talent show, competing alongside Subhash Ghai and Rajesh Khanna.

Between 1970 and 1984, he starred in 21 Punjabi films. Demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit, he later founded Creative Eye, where he served as its chairman and managing director until his death.

May his soul rest in peace.

RIP Dheeraj Kumar
