The last rites of popular film director Sangeeth Sivan (65) who passed away at a private hospital in Mumbai, will be held at the Oshiwara Crematorium ground in Mumbai on Thursday.

Talking to IANS, his youngest brother Sanjeev Sivan -- also a filmmaker, said the body has been kept at Sangeeth바카라™s home in Andheri and the last rites would begin at 4 p.m. at the Oshiwara Crematorium Mumbai.

Even though Sangeeth hails from Thiruvananthapuram, the family decided to have the last rites at Mumbai which was Sangeeth바카라™s home for the past few decades.

Sangeeth was the elder brother of ace cinematographer and director Santosh Sivan and their father Sivan was the National Award-winning film personality who passed away a few years back.

Sangeeth began his film career as an assistant to his father before turning professional as the writer and executive producer of the Hindi film 바카라˜Raakh바카라™ (1989).

His second film after becoming a full-time director was 바카라˜Yoddha바카라™ (1992), one of the biggest hits in Malayalam cinema.

He directed a few more films in Malayalam before shifting to Mumbai, where directed seven Hindi films and a few web series, including 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne', 'Kyaa Kool Hai Hum', 'Apna Sapna Money Money', and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2', among others.
