Mumbai: Aug 2 (UNI) Renowned art director Nitin Chandrakant Desai who committed suicide on Wednesday morning at the ND Studio in Karjat had showcased his talent not only in Bollywood movies like Lagaan and Devdas but also in political events. One such instance was the grand swearing-in ceremony of Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Uddhav Babasaheb Thackeray in 2019, where Desai crafted an awe-inspiring stage.
Nitin Desai designed and erected the majestic stage within a mere 20 hours. The stage exuded grandeur and divinity, befitting the significance of the event.
State Home Minister and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis had also expressed shock over the sudden demise of Desai today.
Fadnavis recalled the times when Desai arranged various political programs during his tenure as Chief Minister and also acknowledged his contribution to the cinema and art industry.
