Director Hansal Mehta also remembered him in loving words. He wrote, “Sad, sad news. My most personal work has lost one of its greatest patrons. You are well Mr Nandy. Will miss you dearly. Deepest condolences to the entire family.”
“I remember when I first met him in 2005 I shared the idea of Omerta. He said, let’s make it. When no one believed in me or my ideas Mr. Pritish Nandy gave me the courage. Gave me the power to do, to dream, to tell stories – no matter what.
Ultimately he did not make Omerta, but I am very grateful to the film and my journey from Shahid to him. We had the most delightful conversations, he was always candid with me and I always left his room very energetic. It’s very hard to believe that he is gone. The past is not for men like him,” the director recalled.
Sayani Gupta, who starred in Pritish Nandy’s Amazon Prime Original Four more shots please!He was called “the youngest boy” on the set. Sharing fun-filled pictures from the sets, Sayani wrote, “The youngest boy in the room, the most articulate and brilliant. Always smiling, always warm and with a twinkle in his eyes. He loved a good conversation. He loved bong women.” And I knew he loved me. He always expressed his love and never shied away from appreciating the people around him. There are very few people who are that charming.”
Sayani said, “An absolute legend. A true visionary. A rock star feminist, who has created some of the most iconic female characters for cinema.”
He signed off the post with these words, “I thought about him a lot when recently his very close friend Mr. Ratan Tata passed away. How he must be bearing this. Can’t believe he left us so soon.” Left. The head of our family.” Didn’t leave us. I am grateful for his grace, wisdom and moments spent in his light.

We were just supposed to meet for the release of our Stubborn Girls. You were the best producer – so warm and supportive. I just wanted to take your call. And you gave me what I needed.”
“One of the most thrilling moments of my life was when you called after seeing the edit of Raatrani and you said – this is “Aashadhoron” (excellent). I will miss you very much. You have left a huge legacy. I am so grateful for the time you spent with us and the work you did with us – Modern Love Mumbai and Ziddi Girls gone too soon,” he wrote.
