The late stunt director also dabbled in filmmaking with Hindustan Ki Kasam which had Ajay in the lead. In Phool Aur Kaante, Ajay’s entry on two bikes directed by his father, was a memorable one and made him one of the most promising newcomers of his time. Apart from direction and action choreography, Veeru Devgan had also acted in films such as Kranti, Saurabh and Singhasan.

We wish the family lots of strength to cope with the loss. RIP, Veeru ji.
