Parvez Khan, a noted action director passed away at the age of 55 after a cardiac arrest on Monday.

For Ayushmann Khurrana, Parvez Khan will always be a special human being. Taking to his Instagram, the actor recalled working with Parvez and called his death a huge loss to the film industry.
He wrote, “Parvez Bhai introduced me to my first action stunt! I managed to pull it off in a chase sequence in Andhadhun and that too without safety mats! Though Parvez Bhai trained me and we rehearsed with safety mats, he was confident I would pull it off without the mats in the final take! His skill set was so strong that he taught me every possible step to land the jump perfectly and I did! His death is a big loss to the industry and for me. It’s huge for me personally because for me he will always be my action master. I’m praying for him and his entire family.”
In his statement, Ayushmann said, “I haven’t done an action movie ever and I had never performed an action stunt before I did Andhadhun. I was thrilled and excited and also apprehensive but Parvez bhai was a genius to put me at ease.”
