Sudhir had been posting on Twitter for a while about the health of his mother, who had been in the hospital for a few days. On June 10, he tweeted, “Left the Hospital to have a bath. Have just been summoned back. They say my Mother has very little time.”

Few days before that, he had posted, “Mother critical Hospital. May she come out of it!”

On the work front, Sudhir’s new series called Tanaav was announced today. The show is the Indian adaptation of the Israeli series Fauda. Set against the backdrop of Kashmir in 2017, it tells the story of a Special Covert Ops Unit. The series will stream on SonyLIV.
