Sunday saw another Bollywood personality leave this world. Director Rajat Mukherjee, best known for his 2001 film Pyar Tune Kya Kiya<\/em>, a dark delicious adaptation of the Glenn Close classic Fatal Attraction<\/em> with Urmila Matondkar giving one of the best performances of her life.<\/p>\n In fact Urmila was so powerful in the film that I remember Kirron Kher telling me how she was on the jury of a film awards and was very upset when Urmila was not given the best actress award.<\/p>\n And now Mukherjee is gone.<\/p>\n Reacting to his death Urmila says, \u201cI can\u2019t believe he is gone. I am saddened. I had not been in touch with him for a while now, so I didn\u2019t know about his illness.\u201d<\/p>\n Urmila still vividly remembers the effort and hard work that went into her role in Pyar Tune Kya Kiya<\/em> of an obsessive girl trapped in unrequited love. \u201cHe was extremely passionate,talented,vibrant,a livewire kind of person. Also, a great cook. His vision and belief in my character Rhea helped me in getting such a tough and extremely difficult character to the screen. Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya<\/em> remains a gem of a film ahead of its times.\u201d<\/p>\n A year later in 2002 Rajat Mukherjee made a dark horror film Road<\/em> for the same producer Ram Gopal Varma featuring Manoj Bajpayee, Vivek Oberoi, and Antara Mali.<\/p>\n Manoj remembers Rajat, \u201cHe was a friend of 21 years and the director of Road<\/em>. Just too sad since morning. I spoke to Geeta his wife. All the memories of laughter, dining together, parties shooting together, his love for Clint Eastwood\u2019s films\u2026. all came rushing back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Manoj misses his Rajat da. \u201cI am feeling sad that all of the above will never happen again without him. He was a lovely man, high on life , no malice or back-biting, just a pure soul that he was. Will miss him always.\u201d<\/p>\n Incidentally Rajat had a huge fall-out with producer Ram Gopal Varma by the time he directed Road<\/em>.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya director Rajat Mukherjee passes away; Bollywood expresses grief\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Catch us for latest Bollywood News<\/a>, New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, Box office collection<\/a>, New Movies Release <\/a>, Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, Entertainment News<\/a>, Bollywood News Today<\/a> & upcoming movies 2020 <\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Urmila](\"https:\/\/stat2.bollywoodhungama.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Urmila-Matondkar-Manoj-Bajpayee-remember-Rajat-Mukherjee.jpg\" "\\"Urmila")
