Veteran film producer Kuljit Pal has passed away on June 24 in Mumbai due to heart attack after prolonged illness. He was bedridden for a long time. He was 90. He will be cremated tomorrow at 12 pm at the Santacruz crematorium.
Pal's manager Sanjay Bajpai when contacted said," Kuljitji suffered a heart attack. Also, he had not been keeping well for quite sometime."
Kuljit Pal was known for producing films like Arth, Aaj, Parmatma, Vaasna, Do Shikari and Ashiana. He was the first producer who gave Rekha her first break in the Hindi film industry but the film was shelved.
His daughter Anu Pal had also tried her luck in films. She was cast in Aaj where Rajiv Bhatia played her marital arts trainer in the film. But only his back was seen in the film. Being upset by the treatment, he went to Bandra court and changed his name to Akshay Kumar. The character of the hero in the film played by Kumar gaurav was called Akshay.
A prayer meeting will be held on June 29 from 5-6 pm at Arya Samaj, Santacruz West.
