Today in Mumbai, 62-year-old veteran director Esmayeel Shroff passed away from sickness.The former director apparently had a heart attack around a month ago and was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani Hospital. He passed away today at the same hospital.Govinda, Ashoke Pandit, and Padmini Kolhapure, three Indian superstars, sent their sympathies to Esmayeel’s family.
Love 86, Govinda’s debut feature film, was directed by Shroff. “I’m extremely saddened,” he wrote. His movie was the catalyst for my career. Jannat naseeb karaye uparwala. May he rest in peace, his soul. He used to have faith in me in addition to giving me tasks. He was the first person to ever tell me that Govinda knew how to make movies. He had a significant role to play.
