Director Girish Malik, who has directed films like Sanjay Dutt’s Torbaaz, Mann Vs Khan, Jal, among others, lost his son Mannan on March 18th. Though he was rushed to Kokila Ben Ambani hospital immediately, he did not survive the fall.

According to reports, Girish’s son Mannan came back home in the afternoon after playing Holi. Later, he fell from the fifth floor of his building located in Oberoi Springs, Mumbai. It is still not known if he deliberately jumped from the building or fell down.

Girish Malik’s partner in Torbaaz, Puneet Singh confirmed the news of the former’s son’s passing. He shared with the portal, “Mr Malik’s son has passed away but I cannot say anything at the moment about what exactly happened. We are not in a state to speak.”

Torbaaz producer Rahul Mittra told, " I am non-plussed to learn about the unfortunate incident and just informed Sanju who’s deeply saddened too. We are shocked beyond words. I had met Mannan a couple of times along with Girish during the making of Torbaaz and found him to be very talented & a boy of promise. May God give Girish and the entire family strength to cope with this irreversible loss. My heartfelt condolences."
