The filmmaker directed Bachchan in family saga ‘Baghban’ and produced ‘Bhoothnath’ and ‘Bhoothnath Returns’ with the 72-year-old actor playing the friendly ghost in the latter two.

“Ravi Chopra, my dear friend and director and producer passed away suddenly today…
“Filled with grief and sorrow, and unable to find words that could possibly describe what I go through, it is difficult to imagine those days spent together… What does one write on such occasions. Silence is the best condolence…
My love,” he posted.
