Which actor died during the shooting of Desh Premee?

Question

When did he died also mention it.

Answer 1

Bengali superstar Uttam Kumar died during the shooting, and rest of his role was played by hair dresser to Amitabh Bachchan.

Both of them died 2 years before the film was released so they dedicated this film in memories of Mohammed Rafi (who sang the title film's song) and Uttam Kumar.
