Ajay Devgn’s father Veeru Devgan breathes his last; B-town offers condolences

Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn’s father Veeru Devgan breathed his last today in a suburban hospital in Mumbai. Veeru Devgan was one of the highly renowned stunt directors and action choreographers who has worked in more than 80 films. Devgan senior had even ventured into direction with the film ‘Hindustan Ki Kasam’ that starred his son Ajay and Amitabh Bachchan.

Though the exact cause of his death is still undisclosed, apparently the veteran stunt director was not keeping well since the last few years. As soon as the film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news of Veeru’s death, B-town stars and celebs stormed social media with their condolence messages.

#VeeruDevgan & I began our career together in the 70’s. “Make Ajay a great actor.” I remember him telling me after Ajay’s debut film became a big hit. Ajay & me finally worked together in Zakhm which won him his 1st (best actor ) national award. ?Adieu Partner @ajaydevgn pic.twitter.com/vWwGjEM70C
