The musician, who created numerous soundtracks along with his brother Sajid, had been admitted to Surana Hospital in the suburb of Chembur where his condition deteriorated.

"He had multiple issues. He had a kidney issue and had a transplant a while ago. But recently he got to know about kidney infection...
