Bollywood's veteran filmmaker Anil Suri, who had backed films like Raaj Kumar-Rekha starrer Karmayogi and Raaj Tilak, died because of Covid-19 on Thursday. He was 77.
According to his brother Rajiv Suri, Anil had a fever on Tuesday but his condition worsened the next day with breathlessness.
"Anil rushed to Lilavati and Hinduja, but both denied him a bed. He was then taken to Advanced Multispeciality Hospital on Wednesday night. He had contracted COVID-19. On Thursday evening, they said something was amiss and he was put on a ventilator. He died around 7 pm," Rajiv said to a popular media house.
Anil's last rites were held at Oshiwara cremation ground on Friday with four family members attending it wearing PPE kits.
