Nitin Desai, the art director of "Lagaan" and "Jodhaa Akbar" fame, who was found dead at his studio in Karjat, near Mumbai in August last year was honoured in memoriam at the 96th Academy Awards in Dolby Theatre at Los Angeles, United States on Sunday.
The police had suspected that Desai had died by suicide, but no note was found at the location.
"We are investigating all angles," local police officer Somnath Gharge had said.
In addition to "Lagaan" and "Jodhaa Akbar", Desai had also worked as an art director in several other iconic Bollywood movies such as "Devdas", "Munnabhai MBBS", "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo".
