Noted film producer N N Sippy, best known for films like “Kalicharan”, “Sargam”, “Chor Machaye Shor” and “Fakira”, died at Breach Candy hospital here today, his family said.
He was 75 and survived by his son and three daughters.
Sippy was suffering from a heart ailment and died at 6.50 pm. He was admitted to the hospital last week, family sources said.
Before beginning his career as a producer in 1959, Sippy worked for 10 years in the film industry in various capacities, including film finance and distribution.
His father was a prominent distributor in Sindh province before India’s partition and he too briefly worked for the family business.
Sippys career straddled various eras of filmmaking to which he made his own contributions. “One should be well acquainted with all the parameters of filmmaking. Otherwise this is no place for you,” he once said.
