'Shocked beyond belief': Abhishek Bachchan on death of 'Dhoom' director Sanjay Gadhvi

Actor Abhishek Bachchan on Sunday penned an emotional tribute to filmmaker Sanjay Gadhvi with whom he had worked on two films -- Dhoom and Dhoom 2.

The actor, who played the role of assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Jai Dixit in both movies, wrote that he was shocked to hear the news of Gadvi's death.

"I took this photo of Sanjay whilst we were filming the climax of Dhoom 2 in South Africa. We made 2 films together - Dhoom and Dhoom 2," Abhishek Bachchan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, and shared two pictures.

"Sanju, when I spoke to you last week and we were reminiscing about our shoots and memories I would never have imagined even in my craziest dreams that I would have to write a post like this. I’m shocked beyond belief," the actor added.

The junior Bachchan said he would always cherish Sanjay Gadhvi for having faith in him and helping him deliver his first hit film. "You had faith in me, even when I didn’t. You gave me my first-ever hit!!! I can never ever forget that or be able to express what it meant to me. I will cherish your friendship always. Rest in peace, my brother," he wrote.
