Hollywood’s prestigious Art Directors’ Guild Film Society and American Cinematheque honoured him for his work.
Vinod Tawde, the general secretary of the BJP and a close associate of Nitin Desai, stated, “I used to counsel and speak with him frequently. I explained to him how Amitabh Bachchan had endured tremendous losses and returned to life. Even if the studio was affixed due to loans, we told him he could start over. It is very upsetting to learn of his passing. I spoke with him the day prior.”
