Veteran Bollywood actor Razak Khan passed away in Mumbai today after suffering a heart attack.

He was known for playing comic roles in films like 'Hello Brother', 'Hungama' and 'Hera Pheri', among others. The veteran comedian suffered a massive heart attack at 12.30 am on Wednesday. He was rushed to Holy Family hospital in Bandra, Mumbai where he was declared dead on arrival by the doctors.

Tall, thin and lanky, with a hippie style haircut, Razak Khan was first seen in "Roop Ki Rani, Choron Ka Raja" in 1993, and later appeared in comic roles in many movies.

Among his notable roles were in movies like "Kyaa Kool Hain Hum" series, don Kabira's sidekick in "Baadshah", "Raja Hindustani", "Hello Brother", "Hera Pheri", "Phir Hera Pheri", "Bhagam Bhaag", "Ankhiyon Se Goli Mare", "Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya", "Loha" and "Ishq".
