Om Puri’s last film will be Salman Khan’s Tubelight

Veteran Actor Om Puri, who passed away earlier this morning, will make his final appearance on the silver screen in Kabir Khan’s upcoming film ‘Tubelight’ starring Salman Khan in the lead.

Puri, who had previously played an important character in Kabir-Salman’s last film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, will also be seen in a film ‘Viceroy’s House’ which releases in the first half of this year.

While we haven’t been able to get confirmation on whether Puri completed his part of the shoot, Kabir Khan tweeted earlier today recalling some of the memories they shared.

Om Puri Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Om Puri Bajrangi Bhaijaan

“Omji… u were laughing with us on set just a few days ago! We have lost one of the greatest actor & the warmest person in the film industry. I will miss that warm tight hug that you gave me every morning on set. Khudahafiz sir… you were the best!” Khan tweeted.

In one of his earlier interviews, Om Puri had spoken about the character that he plays in ‘Tubelight’.

The actor had said “I have a very interesting sympathetic character. If you remember I had played a sympathetic liberal Pakistani mullah in Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It’s good to be cast in characters with unexpected shades of empathy. Kabir knows how to use actors in the best way possible”

Om Puri passed away at the age of 66 after suffering from a massive heart attack.

    even a kid might hav a heart attack

  • Om puri didnot make any deregetory remarks on soldiers. He is known to speak his heart out and that may not sound politically correct always. His contribution for indian cinema is indispensable and his loss cannot be replaced. Life is just a journey and what a journey he had. We love u sir and ur love for people beyond ur own diaspora made u truly international icon. Ur a class and class is permanent, sir u will always remain in our heart. Thanks for making us smile, making us cry,making us think, making us brave enough by being bold and exemplary and noth withstanding giving us hope by playing wonderful characters in ur movies. Through out ur journey through ur films u lived with us sir. Only in milleniums people like u r born who can lead from the front by remaining undettered with circumatances. Bow to u good bye, may god rest u in peace. Love u.

  • @unbearable makki

    Still, blabbering on Bhai’s Eid releases! Abey dhakkan answer to a simple question…. WTH has stopped your mkki to release his movies on Eid???

    BTW, your 60cr club’s jokerboy tried his luck on Deewali & Christmas. But the results were 30cr on Deewali & 60cr on Xmas.???

  • Mkkians are blabbering on Bhai even in someone’s death related articles. @all mkkians JLLB 2 is releasing in next couple of weeks. I swear that I will make #Indicine the hell for you & your mkki.

  • You know it so sad to see excuse me here the stupid arseholes who are making such nasty comments without respecting the life of a human being. His relationship with Salman Khan and the movie should be respected whether he has finished his part or not.
    As for you indicine you said months ago that comments calling Salman a criminal would not be posted yet you take every opportunity to post comments calling Salman a criminal. Would those persons who do so have the guts to post the sins that their fathers, mothers, siblings and themselves have committed. May these person burn in the pits of hell as to when they too die. Especially the parents of those that post these nasty comments for not teaching their children to respect others and to know that they too are sinful.

  • @ Hrithik,

    It doesn’t matter whether Kabir has twitter or Salmoron…

    We have seen the grammar and english of Salmoron in past already and I think Kabir has started to walk in the same direction to Salmoron…

    And for You,
    At least You bhaitards don’t talk upon IQ… It makes us all laughing too badly… What is your idol and who is he, The whole world know and ya, Auqaat to Tujhhse kaafi zyada hai, Lapadjhhandus… Thode din iss website par tikk ja, You will come to know…

  • Feeling so sad for Om puri even till now he is entertaining us with his work in the last decades and will be entertaining us in the decades to come. Who can forget the cult classic Jaane bhi do yaaro one of the greatest comedy movie ever.

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    O le le le, Hahahahahaha…

    Sun Lemon Juice, Akki never needs any festive season to release his film… Jackals have limited area to roam but, The lion can roam everywhere in jungle wherever he wants to… It is Eid made star who needs Eid to maximize his collection or to survive in industry…
    Akki has enough guts to release as many films as he wants and to release all of them without EDX and make all of them 100+ crores… 3 Back to Back 100 crores is the recent example in this year itself…

    And, What are you blabbering? You will make indicine hell for Akkians?

    Hahahahahahahaha, I AM WAITING…

  • @unbearable mkki

    Hahaha….if your 130cr grosser given mkki is a lion then what will call Kangna Ranaut, Ranbir Kapur, Ranveer Singh etc, who have delivered 150cr grossers? DIANASORES??????

    So your Kangna beaten mkki doesn’t need Eid release! That’s fine. Now the question is then WTH are you blabbering on someone’s EDX releases??

    BTW, If I am not wrong your 60cr club’s jokerboy tried his luck on Deewali & Christmas. But the results were 30cr on Deewali & 60cr on Xmas.

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    Akki’s total for this year is 366 Crores, Salmoron is nowhere near to him…

    Hahahahahahaha…

  • @unbearable mkki

    so you mkkians want us to believe collecting 300cr with 3-4 releases is better than collecting 300cr with 1 movie!

    BTW, Kangna’s HG- 150cr
    Sushant Singh’s HG- 140cr
    But lion Mkki’s HG- 130cr.
    Kangna & Sushant>>>>>>>>>mkki.

    #Too Much Funnn!

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    Don’t give us more examples day by day that You are born moron and a typical Salmoron’s fan…

    Listen Lemon Juice,
    In a year, If a batsman gets one match to play and score 200 runs in that and on other side if another batsman gets 3 matches to play and scores 300 runs a total… Then the Top Scorer of that year would be clearly the second batsman…

    Same is happening with world’s bhaijaan… Unfortunately due to one Eid in whole year, He is bounded to release his crap on Eid only and moreover he has no guts to make his film successful without Eid, ROFL… In the same way, The Poor Eid Made Star doesn’t get more films to make more collection but Akki gives him a big margin to defeat…

    And one more thing, You know why Salmoron is not getting married?
    Hahaha, Because of you all illiterate fans…
    You senseless fans have started chanting him Bhai Bhai Bhai so he has become the JAGAT BHAIYYA and every single girl has started to call him BHAI…
    Hahahahahahahahaha, He should abuse you all jerk fans… ROFL…

  • @the unmatchable akki listen go screw yourself the day you can be as successful as Salman Khan then come talk to us. Its imbeciles like you who can’t make a success of your own lives that you just spout your ignorance because your jealousy is flitting out your ears. Dumb moron.

  • @bajanindian,

    It is the comparison between Akki and Salmoron…

    There is no me in the scene and ya, If You wanna compare me with You then it can be interesting, Fool…

    The bhaitards are just illiterates and have very low IQ and that make all the other Indicine Users bunch of jokes everyday… You just proved it again today, ROFL… Just see yourself first who are you and to whom You are following… A Woman Beater… An Non Social Element… A Woman Abuser… A Criminal… A Murderer… A Traitor… And so onnn…

  • @unbearable mkki

    In this decade………
    Ranbir Kapur & Ranveer Singh’s average collections >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s average collections.

    Ranbir, Ranveer, Varun, Siddharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapur Hit Ratio >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s hit ratio.

    Emraan Hashmi’s Blockbuster Ratio >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s Blockbuster Ratio. For confirmation check here http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/successful-bollywood-actors-2010-2016/comment-page-6/#comments

    Now don’t say that Rmraan Hashmi, Ranbir, Ranveer, Varun, Siddharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapur etc are ahead of megastar Akki bcz they release their movies on Eid?????

    ###Too Much Funnn!!!

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    I knew it that how your level of perception and your Rickshaw Wala IQ level going below below and below in every comment…

    Jerk, I tell you once again, I think this time you will try to understand…

    Dhyan dena, Bey…

    Sachin’s average was below than Sir Don Bradman’s average…
    Sachin has played more matches compared to him too…
    More matches increase more risk for you to keep the records safe…
    By playing more matches, Sachin has more runs records and more 100s in his kitty…

    Ab dhyaan se sun, Dhakkan…
    If a star does 1 film a year and with keeping all the positive factors alive (No clash, one film a year and that too on festive season, high ticket pricing, 2 free weeks run, 5000+ screens) and then film does 100+ or 200+ collection… On the other side an actor does 3 films a year and the total goes more than the other actors… The highest collection actor will be the second actor of the year same like Sachin played more matches and scored the highest runs record…
    Has someone stopped your Xmas made star to release his another crap in particular year? But, He know his auqaat, He knows how his film works rather than Eid… He tried once to check his stardom then the result was Jai Ho… Then he again tried his career one of the worst films/Pakaau movie – PRDP and he chose Diwali to release it… He knows without Eid or sometimes Diwali, HE IS EXPOSED… Hahahahahahaha… Beta, Jackals have limited area, Lion roams freely like AKKI…

  • Its very bad that we have lost a great actor om puri. Salman should not shoot any film at least any 3-4 years. He should shame…

  • @The Unmatchable makkhi : Lol at your comments. Just check verdict and distributor’s share per movie for both Salman and your makkhi, your will get to know the real aukaat of your idol and yourself. Your idol has given most number of flops and disasters as a lead in bollywood, such a shameful feat taht he posses and yet to cross his own RR from last 4 to 5 years. Whereas even Ranveer and Kangana has surpassed it. I have seen enough of cowards like you on Indicine, asking me to stay on Indicine but in reality they themselves vanish after few days. I have been on Indicine since years, let see tu aur tera idol kya ukhaad taa hai mera ??

  • @The Unmatchable makkhi : No trade or audience want to watch or see g0bar fests on auspicious occasion of big festivals like Eid and Christmas. Thanks to Rajni sir, Shankar and 2.0 your makkhi is getting a Diwali release else your idol is not even capable of getting a solo festival release on his own credentials. Even Ajay Devgan gets Diwali releases on his own but makkhi has to rely on Rajni sir and Shankar !!!!!!!! Lol

  • @unbearable mkki

    No matter how many excuse will you give but the fact won’t change that……

    Ranbir Kapur & Ranveer Singh’s average collections >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s average collections.

    Ranbir, Ranveer, Varun, Siddharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapur Hit Ratio >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s hit ratio.

    Emraan Hashmi’s Blockbuster Ratio >>>>>>> megastar Akki’s Blockbuster Ratio.???

  • @unmatchable akki you are obviously an uneducated moron who cannot understand maths. Akshay Kumar is an actor I like but sadly he forces himself to do 4 movies a year to compete with the Aamir and Salman it stands to reason out of 4 movies 2 flops 1 average 1 hit don’t say much now does it. Let him do say no of movies per yr won’t get too far now would he. He gets his fees whethet film is a success or not
