Along with a picture of the late actor from his younger days, the director wrote, ‘Saddened to hear about the passing of Rajiv Kapoor! I was a fan from his Ram Teri Ganga Maili days. We had wrapped a shoot for my home production TOOLSIDAS JUNIOR, directed by Mridul! Rajiv was so affable and played his part with much fun & ease. Will miss him deeply!!’

Gowariker had announced their new movie ‘Toolsidas Junior’ recently. Directed by ‘Missed Call’ fame Mridul, the sports drama will star Sanjay Dutt, Rajiv Kapoor and child artiste Varun Buddhadev.

Rajiv suffered a massive heart attack and was declared dead by the doctors on his arrival at the hospital. He was 58.
