Director Sajan Kurien dies in Srinagar

SRINAGAR: Small-time Malayalam director Sajan Kurien aka Sajan Samaya (33) died on Tuesday after he collapsed at a shooting location.

He reportedly collapsed during the shooting of his new film in Ladakh and the reason was severe cold in the region. Though he was rushed to hospital, his life could not be saved. Sajan had gone to Ladakh for the shoot of the film Bibilio in which Shine Tom Chacko is playing the lead.  

The film is based on his novel Bibilio, which was released recently. Sajan’s ‘departure’ comes at a time when the shoot entered its last phase.

Sajan, a native of Thrissur, has directed ‘Sajan the last vision’ and Dancing Death starring Jagadish and Pasupathy. But all those films were not released.
