The Kannada version will be directed by Adarsh Eshwarappa (“Shuddhi”), the Telugu version by Vinod Anantoju (“Middle Class Melodies”) and the Marathi one by Kedar Shinde (“Baipan Bhari Deva”).

On March 19, 2011, on his way to a friend's Holi party, Navin Nischol passed away as a result of a heart attack. He was 65 years old.

In 1968, Navin Nischol received the first gold medal from the Film & Television Institute of India (Ftii). He went on to become an actor who was famous in the 70s for movies such as Victoria No. 203 (1972) and Dhund (1973). After several commercially successful movies he switched over to character roles and television. One of his most famous television serials was a popular comedy in 1993 Dekh Bhai Dekh,, which was set in Mumbai featuring an extended family with Shekhar Suman & Farida Jalal as co-stars.

The last movie he was seen in was Break Ke Baad (2010) as Imran Khan's father, Jeet Gulati.

His colleagues at Ftii and in the film and television fraternity alike remember him fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It's been a sad week for Bollywood, as two veteran actors have set for heavenly abode. While Navin Nischol passed away last week, Bob Christo (70) passed away in Bangalore on Sunday afternoon. He was hospitalized after a massive heart attack on Saturday afternoon. After having debuted with Abdullah, Bob went onto create and carve a niche place for himself in Bollywood; most of his roles were that of a villain's henchman and evil British officer in period films. Not many know that this man was a qualified civil engineer. The actor of Australian origin went on to act in over 200 movies, which included films like Mard, Qurbani, Mr. India, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja and Gumraah, to name a few. Ironically, the actor's biography titled 'Flashback: My Times in Bollywood and Beyond' was to be released by Akshay Kumar in June. Bollywood Hungama prays for the departed man's soul to rest in eternal peace.
