Malayalam actor Thilakan died at the age of 74 following a heart attack.
The entertainment world lost one of its most talented comedians Jaspal Bhatti in a tragic traffic accident. The 57-year-old actor and two others were travelling to Jalandhar from Bathinda for the promotion of his new film 'Power Cut' when the car hit a tree on the roadside on October 25.
Bhatti was behind hits like 'Flop Show' and 'Ulta Pulta' during the golden days of Doordarshan in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The shows highlighted the problems faced by the common man in a lighthearted way. He also played memorable roles in films.
