Actor Rajesh Vivek, popular for playing the role of ‘Guran’ in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Oscar nominated film ‘Lagaan’, died due to a heart attack in Hyderabad on Thursday.
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who played the lead in the 2001 classic, paid tribute to the actor who passed away at the age of 66.
“Yesterday we lost someone from the Lagaan family…. Rajesh Vivek. You will always remain in our hearts Baba. Your spirit, your energy and your love for humanity will always inspire us. Love. a.” Aamir posted on his Facebook page.
It was veteran director Shyam Benegal, who had first introduced Upadhyay in his 1978 classic ‘Junoon’. He has played important characters in more than 30 films including Swades, Bunty Aur Babli, Bhoot Unkle, What is Your Rashee and Son of Sardaar.
Check out Guran’s famous cricket shot, which was even played by several international cricketers.

Rest in peace Sir, His guran act was epic specially his batting style and dilogue ” AA firangi aa”. He was good in swades also. Even in God tussi great ho his beggar act was hilarious. Thanks for your contribution.
RIP Rajesh Vivek a brilliant actor. I liked his comedy scene in Agneepath, when Hrithik ties him on top of a running car that scene was really hillarious.. .. .. but I’m shocked to hear about his sudden death. May God give strength to his family to bear this loss.
RIP the inspiring Guran!!
Funny dialogues from Swades…. “Ye Eemail Ka Hota Hai??…” “Ee Gaaon Mein, Ee-Mail..”
Tragic loss
May you find peace
