Filmmaker Rajat Mukherjee, best known for directing Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Road and romantic thriller Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, passed away due to kidney ailments in the wee hours of Sunday. He was in his late 50s.
Producer Anish Ranjan, a close friend of Mukherjee’s, said the director breathed his last in Jaipur, where he had gone to be with his family for Holi but got stuck when the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced.
Ranjan said the director had developed breathing issues over a month ago and had gone to get a COVID-19 test done, when the doctors realised that his “sodium potassium levels” were imbalanced. Mukherjee is survived by wife, mother and brother. (PTI)
