    What's the story

    In a piece of shocking news, filmmaker Sanjay Gadhvi (57), known for helming Yash Raj Films (YRF)'s Dhoom and Dhoom 2, has passed away.

    Reportedly, he died of a heart attack on Sunday, preceded by chest pain while out on a morning walk.

    Per Times Now, Gadhvi was walking along the Lokhandwala Backroad on Sunday morning when he experienced a piercing chest pain and began sweating profusely.

    Filmmaker Kunal Kohli mourned Gadhvi's demise and wrote on X, "This is beyond shocking. #SanjayGadhvi RIP never thought I'd have to write your obituary. Shared an office for many years at YRF, lunch dubbas, and discussions. Will miss you my friend. This is too hard to accept (sic)."

    Actor Shruti Seth (Fanaa, Shararat) tweeted, "This is just shocking and heartbreaking. RIP #SanjayGadhvi."

    On 'Dhoom 3'

    Gadhvi once revealed why he didn't direct 'Dhoom 3'

    Gadhvi once opened up on stepping back from Dhoom 3 (directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya).

    He explained, "It was a conscious decision to not direct Dhoom 3 as I didn't want to get stuck in making the same kind of cinema. I didn't want to go on doing the same thing again and again."

    However, he acknowledged he would miss being part of it.
