The Producers Guild of India, in a statement, remembered Mr Makkar’s “unique ability to find a way through the toughest situations” and called him their “pillar of strength.” The statement read: “Today we lost our pillar of strength. Kulmeet is irreplaceable. His passion, integrity, resourcefulness and commitment were only matched by his deep empathy and unique ability to find a way through the toughest situations. Today we have lost someone who has played an integral role – always unassumingly and behind the scenes to nurture and grow the Indian film and television industry. Our dearest Kulmeet, you will always be missed. Your legacy will live on.”
