Film dhoom director Sanjay Gadhvi died on Sunday at his residence. He was 56.
Gadhvi is famous known for two blockbuster hits in the Yash Raj Films'— "Dhoom" (2004) and "Dhoom 2" (2006).
According to Gadhvi's daughter, the director was perfectly healthy.
"He passed away at 9.30 am this morning at his residence. We are not sure what it is, but it is most likely a heart attack. He wasn't unwell, he was perfectly healthy," Sanjina told Indian media.
Gadhvi made his directorial debut in 2000 with "Tere Liye", which he followed up with 2002's "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai", his first project with Yash Raj Films.
Besides Sanjini, Gadhvi is survived by his wife and another daughter.
Abiskeih Bachan, Yash Raj Films, and Bipasha Basu expressed their condolences to the family of Sanjay Ghadvi on the sad demise of the director.
Abisheikh said: ":I took this photo of Sanjay whilst we were filming the climax of Dhoom 2 in South Africa. We made 2 films together - Dhoom and Dhoom 2. Sanju, when I spoke to you last week and we were reminiscing about our shoots and memories I would never have imagined even in my craziest dreams that I would have to write a post like this. I’m shocked beyond belief.

You had faith in me, even when I didn’t. You gave me my first-ever hit!!! I can never ever forget that or be able to express what it meant to me. I will cherish your friendship always. Rest in peace, my brother."
The magic he created on screen will be cherished forever. May his soul rest in peace. #SanjayGadhvi pic.twitter.com/1wstfQZpFO
