Mumbai, Mar 2: Suniel Shetty's 93 Year-old father Veerapa Shetty breathed his last at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, where he was admitted. Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty’s father Virappa Shetty passed away late on Tuesday. Virappa, 93, breathed his last at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai where he was admitted. As per reports, he will be cremated on Wednesday. Veerapa Shetty is survived by his wife, son Suniel and daughter Sujata.Veerappa Shetty

Suniel Shetty’s father had suffered a massive paralytic stroke in 2013 and the actor had set-up an entire ICU at his South Mumbai residence for his recovery. It was almost at the same time when Suniel’s daughter Athiya was preparing for her big Bollywood debut. But, Suniel gave importance to Veerapa. He had in the past said that his father was his real hero and nothing is more more important to him than his health. So much so, that he even put aside his entire career and did not sign any films for years, for his father’s sake.

“I haven’t had a proper night’s sleep for three months now. It’s a very mixed kind of feeling for me. On one hand, my daughter Aathiya is getting ready for her film career. On the other hand my father is very unwell. So the excitement of Aathiya’s debut is sadly diminished. At the moment we’re all focusing on looking after my father,” Suniel had said back in 2014.

Veerapa Shetty began working at the age of nine. The self-made man went on to build an empire as an hotelier. Suniel, who took to films as a hobby, has been running his father’s business of hotels for decades. In fact, to say that Suniel is a more successful hotelier than an actor won’t be wrong. As of now, the family is still in the hospital. Athiya, who is shooting for her upcoming film Mubarakan, is out of country.We give all our condolences to the Shetty family.

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.
