Action director Parvez Khan, known for his work in films like Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun and Badlapur, passed away on Monday after suffering a massive heart attack, reported news agency Press Trust of India. He was 55.
Parvez, who worked in the industry since 1986, was rushed to Mumbai's Ruby Hospital after he complained of chest pain, his longtime associate Nishant Khan told PTI. "He suffered a major heart attack in the morning. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead. He didn't have any health issues but felt chest pain last night," Nishant said.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who worked with Parvez in the National Award-winning 2013 drama Shahid, said the action director was extremely skillful with his work.
Here is Mehta's tweet
Just heard that action director Parvez Khan is no more. We had worked together in Shahid where he executed the riots sequence in a single take. Very skilful, energetic and a good man. RIP Parvez. Your voice still rings in my ears!
