Renowned film actor-producer maker Sujit Kumar passed away in Mumbai on Friday.

The 75-year-old actor was suffering from cancer.

Indeed, right from the 1960s to the 1990s, Sujit was one of the most visible and consistent character actors in the Hindi film industry.

He is best remembered for portraying characters that ranged from the comedian to the villainish, and sometimes, both.

Some of his big Hindi hits were 'Haathi Mere Saathi', 'Amar Prem', 'Mehbooba', 'Roti', 'The Great Gambler', 'Adalat', 'Jugnu', 'Dharamveer', 'Charas', 'Dream Girl' and many others.
