Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan's ‘Lahore' is all set to release on March 19, but there seems little celebration amongst the hardworking team of this film. The reason for glumness is the sudden demise of their co-star late actor Nirmal Pandey who played a pivotal role in the film.

Nirmal played Anwar Shaikh in the film, his co-actor, Nafisa Ali remembers him as an intelligent person who is going to be sorely missed by the film fraternity.

"Though I didn't get to interact with him much during the shoot of ‘Lahore'; I must say we have lost a young life and an extremely talented actor.

It's tragic to know about the sudden demise of a wonderful person like Nirmal. Nobody can replace a talent like Nirmal Pandey. The entire team of ‘Lahore' and of course the entire film fraternity is going to miss him terribly, " says Nafisa.

Apart from Nafisa and Nirmal, Farooq Sheikh, Saurabh Shukla, Ashish Vidyarthi and Kelly Dorjee star in ‘Lahore'.
