His colleague, filmmaker Nikkhil Advani paid his respects to Sudhir’s father, tweeting that people aren’t aware of the huge role that the director’s parents have played in shaping up the film industry that we know today.

Terrible news regarding the passing away of a gentleman, visionary thinker and teacher. Most don’t realise the contribution of Sudhir’s parents to the film industry of today. They opened their house and hearts for all dreamers that walked into it. #RIPDNMishra @IAmSudhirMishra 🙏
