Veeru Devgan Taught Us Raw And Real Action Says Rohit Shetty

Hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty pays a tribute to late filmmaker and stunt director Veeru Devgan on his first Death Anniversary.

Golmaal director Rohit Shetty remembered famous Indian stuntmen and actor Ajay Devgn's father Veeru Devgn on his death anniversary. Terming Veeru Devgn as his 'guru,' Shetty posted two pictures with him on Instagram and penned down an emotional note.

Rohit Shetty captioned it, “Back in time Veeru ji taught us raw and real action, no cables and no computer graphics. We are privileged to have him as our guru! Never executed a single stunt without giving your example to my team and had never imagined I would be blessed enough to present you the lifetime achievement award. It’s been a year since you left us. You will always be missed”

One of the pictures was from Shetty's early days in Bollywood industry. The picture features Shetty trying to attempt an action sequence under Devgn's guidance. The other picture was from an award function where Shetty and Veeru's star daughter in law Kajol are seen bestowing him with the lifetime achievement award for his work in the Indian film industry.

The veteran director choreographed action scenes in more than 80 Hindi films including 'Hindustan Ki Kasam' where his son played the lead against Amitabh Bachchan.
