Jesus. Big loss. Great actor.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Damn. :(

 

[Wilson]

Absolutely gutting. He was a true acting powerhouse.

 

[Deleted member 12790]

Oh man, my dad will be crushed to hear this, he loved all those movies.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

RIP

I cried at the end of The Namesake due to a scene he was in.

 

[Orange Piccolo]

Oh man, I just watched the namesake the other day too.

RIP.

 

[master15]

Sad, I absolutely loved his performance in the film The Namesake. He looked eerily similar to my Dad so it was a very emotional film to watch.

 

[Kool Kid]

THIS FUCKING YEAR. RIP. this one hurt. Amazing actor.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

RIP
His was the only likeable character in Jurassic World

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

God dammit, this is so sad. What an incredible actor.

 

[Fat4all]

jeez, so young

 

[chefbags]

Damn, His mother passed away last Saturday too.

 

[Landawng]

Goddamn, that sucks. Incredible actor. His performance in Life Of Pi was the first time I became familiar with him and I was blown away, especially towards the end of the movie. RIP

 

[ItIsOkBro]

holy shit

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Always liked him, was just watching Jurassic World yesterday thinking how hard it must have been to deliver some of those lines believably.

RIP

 

[Mariolee]

Wow have loved him in a lot of work. He brought a gravitas to every role, even ones as silly as in Amazing Spider-Man and Jurassic World.

Rest in peace.

 

[Lucky_Seenty]

Just watched jurassic world yesterday, Rip

 

[Buzz]

Someone please take this year back. Such a great loss for Cinema.

 

[junk]

Aw man, RIP. Dude had me tearing up in the Namesake

 

[Peek-a-boo!]

He's only just crossed a half century — he was still young. I was watching 'The Lunchbox' this time last week, and seeing him on the train ride 'home' has an altogether different meaning now ... 😢

 

[Mr Swine]

Rest in piece 😞

 

[Chaos-Theory]

So young, RIP

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Such a big loss, such an amazing actor. Gutted, truly a big hole in Indian cinema now. An actor from Bollywood who could actually act well.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

RIP

 

[Memento Mori]

Fantastic actor and one of the best parts of In Treatment.

 

[Raguel]

Oh damn. He's a great actor. Damn

 

[shaneo632]

He was really great in The Lunchbox and one of the few good characters in JW.

 

[Huncho_Houdini]

Damn. RIP.

 

[wandering]

His role in the Namesake left such a lasting impression on me. One of the finest actors in Indian cinema; he will be missed.

Just re-watched The Warrior the other day and was reminded now good an actor he was. Always seemed like a sound person, very sad.

 

[the_id]

Rest in peace. Such a loss.

I was just reading about him.

 

[Window]

I've seen his Bollywood films since a very young age and he's always had a completely unique style to acting. It's been great to see the worldwide recognition he finally started to receive when he got big roles in Hollywood. I knew he had cancer but thought it had resolved itself. This is a big shock and a big loss. RIP.

Damn, His mother passed away last Saturday too.

Where did you get the movie? Haven't been able to find this anywhere. Can you please point me to it?

 

[Messofanego]

Oh no, one of my favourite Indian actors :(

His role in the Namesake left such a lasting impression on me. One of the finest actors in Indian cinema; he will be missed.

Yup, great film, by a great director (Mira Nair). His first film was in Salaam Bombay which was Mira's debut feature film so they were frequent collaborators. Related to that film so hard as a lot of South Asians in western countries.

I haven't seen Song Of Scorpions so might check that out.

 

[Rosenkrantz]

Sad news. I'm not invested in Bollywood at all, but he was good in his Hollywood roles. RIP.

 

[Kyuuji]

Big loss, was a great actor. Thoughts and respects to his family and friends, must be devastating.

[The Nightsky]

What?? He was fantastic, was always very happy to see him in movies.. so sad. RIP.

 

[Titik]

Oh that's lucky. It's hard to find anyway. I also love physical media for some reason.

 

[Ignis]

One of my favourite actors and just a powerhouse of Bollywood talent.

His mother passing on Saturday just adds to the pain.

rip king

 

[Murasaki]

RIP to a Bollywood legend. Way too young :(

 

[Disco]

Damn RIP. in the sadly limited number of brown actors in hollywood roles this dude stood out whenever he popped up for sure.

 

[BarcaTheGreat]

Shit, man such a good actor. Will be tough to watch English Medium knowing he died soon after the movie was released.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Rest in peace.
