Filmmaker Milap Zaveri expressed his condolences in a tweet where he reminisced fond memories of Nishikant. Milap recalled how the late filmmaker had awarded him for a play in college. Milap, in his tweet, also revealed that Nishikant Kamat was going to direct Abhishek Bachchan's now shelved film Sanak, which he (Milap) and Mushtaq Sheikh had penned together.
However, Milap quickly rectified his error and tweeted that while Nishikant was alive, he was still critical. It appears the filmmaker had a word with someone who is by Kamat's side at the hospital.
