Deepak Mukut: ‘Sangeeth and I saw the film together last week’

Sangeeth Sivan

Filmmaker Sangeeth Sivan passed away on May 8 due to a heart attack. Known for hits like Vyooham (1990), Yoddha (1992) and Gandharvam (1993) in the Malayalam film industry, the director had helmed comic capers Kya Kool Hain Hum (2005) and Apna Sapna Money Money (2006), among others, in Bollywood. Few know that he had recently completed Blind Game, starring Arjun Rampal, Priyamani and Rohit Chandel. The crime thriller, revolving around a cop on a mission, was being readied for release in the next few months.

Blind Game producer Deepak Mukut remembers Sivan as a humble, soft-spoken person and a fantastic director. “Sangeeth was a gem of a person, and it had been a great experience working with him. He was an actor’s director, who gave his artistes the freedom to act the way they interpreted their roles. He was a fast director who shot quickly. His passing came as a big shock to us all,” he says. Mukut says he learnt about Sivan’s ill-health only a few days ago. “We were in touch with Sangeeth’s family.”   


Sivan had taken the crime thriller on floors in December 2022, shooting it across Mumbai and Manali. Mukut is heartbroken that the director is no more. “Blind Game, which is a suspense thriller, was his last film and we were gearing up for its release in the next couple of months. The film is complete, including the post-production. Sangeeth and I had a meeting only last week in Mumbai, and we saw the film together. We discussed the promotional strategies too. It is sad to continue without him. We will dedicate Blind Game to Sangeeth.”
