Expressing his grief, Akshay Kumar tweeted, “Unbelievably sad to know about the demise of Nitin Desai. He was a stalwart in production design and such a big part of our cinema fraternity. He worked on so many of my films… this is a huge loss. Out of respect, we are not releasing the OMG 2 trailer today. Will launch it tomorrow at 11am. Om Shanti"
The trailer will release tomorrow at 11 AM.
It is claimed that Nitin died by suicide as he was under heavy financial burdens. The police is investigating the case.
Desai started his career as an assistant director on the sets of the TV show Tamas. The first time his work was recognised was in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 1994 film, 1942: A Love Story. He also designed the set of Slumdog Millionaire 2008.
Other films to the credit of the late art director include, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Dostana, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Munnabhai MBBS, Mission Kashmir, Josh and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, among many others.
Meanwhile, OMG 2 is a sequel to the 2012 OMG which also starred Akshay Kumar in the lead along with Pankaj Tripathi, Yami Gautam, Arun Govil, Govind Namdev and Pawan Malhotra.
The film is slated for 11th August 2023 release, and will clash with Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2.
