Veteran producer Kuljit Pal breathed his last on June 24 in Mumbai. He passed away at the age of 90 due to a heart attack after a prolonged illness. He was bedridden for a long time.
According to reports, he will be cremated on Sunday at 12 noon at the Santacruz crematorium in the city. A prayer meeting will be held on June 29 from 5 pm to 6 pm at Arya Samaj, Santacruz West.
Pal`s manager Sanjay Bajpai told ETimes,” Kuljitji suffered a heart attack. Also, he had not been keeping well for quite some time.”
Kuljit Pal had produced films like Arth, Aaj, Parmatma, Vaasna, Do Shikari and Ashiana. He had a very good sense of humour.
He was the first producer who gave actress Rekha her break in the Hindi film industry, but the film was shelved.
A Twitter search of his name throws up an old photo of Pal with the actress.
