Abhishek Bachchan, who worked with Sanjay Gadhvi wrote an emotional post on Instagram, along with the director’s picture, “I took this photo of Sanjay whilst we were filming the climax of ‘Dhoom 2’ in South Africa. We made two 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.” Gadhvi’s last project was ‘Operation Parindey’ in 2020.
