His role in Kill Bill was iconic! Didn't know he worked in Telugu cinema too. Shows how global our film industry has become. Condolences to his family.

While the tribute is nice, I wish our production houses would give more opportunities to Indian character actors instead of always bringing Hollywood names for 'prestige'.

Cardiac arrest at 67 is too young these days! We really need to focus on heart health in India too. RIP to a great actor. His intense eyes were unforgettable.

Excited about The Raja Saab! Prabhas + horror genre sounds like a perfect combo. Hope they maintain the same quality as Nishabdham which was quite underrated.

That casting call for PMF50 sounds interesting! Tribal movie with international cast could put Indian cinema on global map if done right. Fingers crossed 🤞
