According to sources, the late action director was suffering from breathing problems after which he was immediately admitted to the hospital. However, his condition got critical and resulted in cardiac arrest.

Posting a picture from the day when Veeru was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award, Kajol wrote, "In happier times. He won the award for a lifetime of achievement on this day but it took a lifetime to prove. So many people mourn the life of the man but that was a life well lived... RIP with love."
