Mumbai: Denied a bed by Mumbai’s top hospitals Lilavati and Hinduja after he complained of breathlessness, veteran Bollywood producer Anil Suri was then rushed to Advanced Multispeciality Hospital on Wednesday night. A day later, Suri passed away.

“He was rushed to Lilavati and Hinduja, but both denied him a bed. He was then taken to Advanced Multispeciality Hospital on Wednesday night. He had contracted COVID-19. On Thursday evening, they said something was amiss and he was put on ventilator. He died around 7 pm,” Anil’s brother Rajiv Suri was quoted as saying by PTI.

The last rites of the 77-year-old Anil, who produced films like ‘Karmayogi’ and ‘Raaj Tilak’, were held at Oshiwara cremation ground on Friday morning, in the presence of close family members.
