Mumbai, May 9: The film industry mourns the loss of acclaimed director Sangeeth Sivan, aged 65, who breathed his last at a private hospital in Mumbai. The veteran filmmaker's final rites are scheduled to take place at the Oshiwara Crematorium ground in Mumbai on Thursday.

Sivan, known for his remarkable contributions to Indian cinema, leaves behind a legacy of memorable films that have captivated audiences across generations. His sudden demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment fraternity, with colleagues and admirers expressing profound grief at the news of his passing.

As friends, family, and industry peers gather to bid farewell to the revered filmmaker, tributes pour in from all corners, commemorating Sangeeth Sivan's indelible imprint on the world of cinema.

Talking to IANS, his youngest brother Sanjeev Sivan -- also a filmmaker, said the body has been kept at Sangeeth’s home in Andheri and the last rites would begin at 4 p.m. at the Oshiwara Crematorium Mumbai.

Even though Sangeeth hails from Thiruvananthapuram, the family decided to have the last rites at Mumbai which was Sangeeth’s home for the past few decades.

Sangeeth was the elder brother of ace cinematographer and director Santosh Sivan and their father Sivan was the National Award-winning film personality who passed away a few years back.

Sangeeth began his film career as his father's assistant before becoming professional as the writer and executive producer of the Hindi film ‘Raakh’ (1989).

His second film after becoming a full-time director was ‘Yoddha’ (1992), one of the biggest hits in Malayalam cinema.

He directed a few more films in Malayalam before shifting to Mumbai, where directed seven Hindi films and a few web series, including 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne', 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum', 'Apna Sapna Money Money', and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2', among others.
