A sad news of the Bollywood industry has come out. Chandra Barot, director of Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Don’ in 1978, died at the age of 86. He died on the morning of Sunday, 20 July. He was ill for a long time and was also suffering from problems caused by old age.
The director of ‘Don’ is no more, what is the industry?
The death of Chandra Barot has raced a wave of grief in Hindi cinema. Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, who made his film ‘Don’ again in 2006 and now made him as a franchise, he is also shocked by his death.

Who was Chandra Barot?
In addition to giving a Cult-Classic film like Chandra Barot ‘Don’, he had also worked as an assistant in many best Hindi films. Apart from Manoj Kumar’s film ‘Purab and Paschim’, he also assisted in films like ‘Memorable’, ‘Roti Karna House’. Chandra Barot also tried his hand in Bengali films.

When Shah Rukh became a don, what did Chandra Barot say?
In 2006, when Farhan Akhtar was rebuilding ‘Don’ made by Chandra Barot. Then the director also reacted on it. Before the release of Shah Rukh’s ‘Don’ in an old interview, Chandra Barot expressed his happiness that when he was making Dawn with Amitabh Bachchan, he did not get that much media attention.
