Actor Sadashiv Amrapurkar, who twice won the Filmfare awards for his captivating performances in "Ardh Satya" and "Sadak", died early Monday after he was hospitalised following a lung infection, his daughter said.

Sadashiv Amrapurkar was hospitalised at the Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani Hospital here.

"He passed away at 2.45 (a.m.)," Rima Amrapurkar told IANS.

"His cremation will take place in his hometown Ahmed Nagar tomorrow. Today (Monday) his body will be kept at the Bhaidas Auditorium for the people to pay their last respect," his daughter said.

Sadashiv, 64, is survived by his wife and three daughters.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the actor's death.
