His funeral will be held today evening at 6: 00 PM and the entire Bollywood industry is expected to attend it. Veeru Devgan was a very popular stunt artist in the 70s and 80s and the movies registered under his name include Khoon Bhari Maang, Mr Natwarlal, Kranti, Himmatwala, Shahenshah, Mr India, Tridev and Phool Aur Kaante. He has also acted in a couple of films like Kranti and Singhasan. Veeru Devgan, Ajay Devgn’s Father and Former Stunt Director, Passes Away.

Besides being a stunt director, he even forayed into a director with Hindustan Ki Kasam that starred Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan. The movie didn't do any wonders at the box office and that prompted him to kill his directorial dreams further. We would like to offer our deepest and most sincere condolences to the Devgn family and may his soul rest in peace.
