Veteran Indian filmmaker M.M. Baig was found dead at his residence, confirmed by his publicist Hanif Zaweri.
Baig, who was the father of renowned child artist Baby Guddu, had been battling illness for some time. According to Zaweri, Baig had not been seen outside his house for four to five days, and the smell emanating from his residence prompted concerned neighbors to alert the police.
Upon breaking down the door, the police discovered his lifeless body and notified his family. The body was later sent for a post-mortem examination. Baig, who was over 70 years old, had a long and varied career in Hindi cinema.
Baig began his film career as an assistant director, working alongside prominent filmmakers such as J.Om Prakash, Vimal Kumar, and Rakesh Roshan.
Baig’s death marks the end of an era for the Indian film industry, where he had made significant contributions both behind and in front of the camera.
