Film personalities such as Riteish Deshmukh, Siddhartha Basu, and Neil Nitin Mukesh on Wednesday paid tributes to renowned art director Nitin Desai, calling him a “genius” and a “positive soul”. Nitin Desai, a four-time National Award winner, was found hanging on Wednesday at his studio in Maharashtra’s Raigad district neighbouring Mumbai, a senior police official said. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide, the official said, adding they are investigating the case from all angles.<\/p>\n

Siddhartha Basu, who worked with Desai on popular reality shows such as Kaun Banega Crorepati<\/i> and Dus Ka Dum<\/i>, said he was shocked to hear about the death of his “friend and artistic collaborator.”<\/p>\n

“He made sets for so many of our shows – KBC, Kamzor Kadi, Heartbeat, Bluffmaster, Dus ka Dum, Sach ka Saamna.. Conjuring<\/i> world class installations on an industrial scale. Om shanti,” Basu wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Nitin Desai was known for his art work in films such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Lagaan, Jodhaa Akbar<\/i> and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo<\/i>. In his career spanning over 30 years, Desai closely worked with directors like Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Rajkumar Hirani, and Ashutosh Gowariker.<\/p>\n

Neil said it is difficult to accept the heartbreaking news of Desai’s death. The late art director worked on Jail<\/i>, the 2009 film starring the actor.<\/p>\n

“Our beloved Nitin Desai has left for his heavenly abode. He was simply a genius. A visionary artist with grace, style who understood not just his craft but people. He was a positive soul who spread only love to all. My God give his family strength. Om Shanti,” he wrote on the microblogging site. Actor Riteish Deshmukh remembered Desai as a soft-spoken visionary.<\/p>\n

“Deeply shocked to know that Nitin Desai, a legendary Production Designer who has contributed immensely to the growth of Indian cinema in no more.<\/p>\n

“My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. I had known him for years.. soft spoken, humble, ambitious and a visionary… you will be missed my friend. Om Shanti (sic),” Riteish Deshmukh tweeted.<\/p>\n

“The news of Nitin Desai’s demise is devastating”, said filmmaker Sanjay Gupta. “I can’t believe this news. Nitin Desai was the best at what he did. We worked on a few films together. Always smiling, always making life easier on set. This news is devastating. Rest In Peace my friend. You will always be missed,” Sanjay Gupta tweeted.<\/p>\n

Actor Parineeti Chopra said she was “heartbroken” to hear about Desai’s passing. “His groundbreaking work, wisdom and artistry will be remembered forever. Rest in peace sir,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
