Best works of Sanjay Gadhvi

Sanjay Gadhvi, renowned for directing the initial two chapters of the Dhoom series, was a notable Indian filmmaker and writer. Born to Manubhai Gadhvi, a prominent figure in Gujarati folk literature, he shared his childhood and school days with the likes of influential industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla. Unfortunately, he passed away this morning.

Gadhvi marked his directorial debut with 'Tere Liye' in 2000, which went relatively unnoticed. His collaboration with the esteemed 'Yash Raj Films' commenced with 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai' in 2002. However, it was the action thriller 'Dhoom' in 2004 that truly brought him into the limelight.

Following the success of 'Dhoom,' Gadhvi directed its sequel, 'Dhoom 2,' featuring familiar faces like Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, and Rimi Sen from the previous film, alongside new additions Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, and Bipasha Basu.

This is a developing story. More updates are awaited.
