Bollywood director Madhur Bhandarkar expressed grief on the death of legendary singer-composer Bappi Lahiri who left for his heavenly abode on Tuesday night.

Mourning the hitmaker’s demise, Bhandarkar said, “Today it was very sad when we got the news that Bappi da is no more with us. We grew up listening to his songs- Disco Dancer, Sharabi, Satyamev Jayate and all the films he did. He used to sing very well, he used to compose very well.”

“His contribution will be immense in Hindi films. He was also called Disco King,” he continued, adding, “And I think all his fans, and all the people who listen to his songs, be it marriage or any function… We all will miss him. And it is a big loss to the film industry.”

The cremation ceremony of the legendary singer will take place on Thursday morning, his family affirmed.
