Acclaimed Indian actor Om Puri has died aged 66 at his home in Mumbai.
Puri, star of British hit comedy East is East, suffered a heart attack after returning from a film set on Thursday.
Born in Haryana state to a Punjabi family in 1950, Puri made his film debut in a Marathi-language movie when he was in his 20s and went on to become one of India's most famous crossover stars.
He appeared in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi as well as several Hollywood films, including City of Joy, Wolf, Charlie Wilson's War and, most recently, The Hundred-Foot Journey with Helen Mirren.
