Veteran Bollywood comedian Razzak Khan passed away in Mumbai yesterday, after suffering a massive heart attack at around midnight. He was rushed to the Holy Family hospital in Bandra, where doctors declared the 65-year old actor dead on arrival, according to an Indian Express report.
The family is waiting for Razzak Khan’s son Assad Khan, who works in Croatia. Khan’s funeral will be held today at the Narialwadi Kabaristan at Byculla.

Sad to hear about passing away of Razzak Khan. His finest performance in ‘Dubai Return’ with @irrfan_k unfortunately remains in the cans.
