The actor and Gupta worked together on Kaabil, the 2017 thriller in which Hrithik played Rohan Bhatnagar, a visually impaired man whose life changes after a violent tragedy. The film also starred Yami Gautam and remains one of Gupta’s most prominent directorial ventures from the later phase of his career.

Hrithik’s tribute returned repeatedly to the experience of making the film. He said he would remember Gupta with gratitude and wished he had expressed that appreciation more openly while he still had the chance.

“Im gonna remember you with so much gratitude my friend , I wish I had hugged you harder and thanked you for giving me the best experience of my life with kaabil. Nobody will fully know how much you gave that film. I’m heartbroken , this was too soon.”

He concluded, “Strength to the family … Rest in peace my friend …”

Sanjay Gupta Died After A Fall At Home

Gupta died after losing his balance and falling at his residence, sustaining a head injury, according to police. His family has not expressed suspicion over the incident, and the body was sent for a post-mortem as part of the inquiry.

The filmmaker was known for a filmography dominated by crime thrillers and action dramas, including Kaante, Musafir, Zinda, Shootout at Wadala, Jazbaa, Kaabil and Mumbai Saga.

His death has prompted tributes from several members of the film industry, many of whom worked with him across different phases of his career.

Hrithik’s message, however, remained centred on the one film they made together and the work that could have followed.

“One film with you wasn’t enough,” he wrote, summing up a collaboration he clearly believed still had more left in it.
