Saawan Kumar Tak, director of films such as Sanam Bewafa and Souten, died on Thursday at a hospital in Mumbai, his nephew said. The 86-year-old filmmaker was brought to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Wednesday in a “critical” condition and was being treated for lungs infection and breathing issues.
Tak breathed his last at 4:15pm on Thursday.
“He passed away at 4:15pm due to heart failure. His heart had stopped functioning,” Navin, Tak’s nephew, said.
The filmmaker was best known for directing Salman Khan-starrers Sanam Bewafa (1991), Chaand Ka Tukda (1994) and Saawan... The Love Season (2003).
