Actor Mahesh Anand found dead at his Mumbai Residence

Popular ’90s villain Mahesh Anand was found dead at his home in Andheri’s Yaari road area in Kinara Building on February 9. He was 57 and was living alone.

Living alone for many years and virtually jobless, he is suspected to have died at least two days ago, and the decomposed body has been sent for autopsy to the Cooper Hospital to ascertain the time and cause of death.

A popular actor in the late 1980s and 1990s, known for his tall and tough body frame, he was usually seen as the main henchman of the villains in several films but was facing huge financial constraints for many years.

Anand acted with top actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, in major films like Ganga Jamuna Saraswati and Shahenshah (1988), Majboor (1989), Thanedaar (1990), Betaaj Badshah (1994), Coolie No 1 (1995), Vijeta (1996), Lal Badshah, Aaya Toofan (1999), Baaghi and Kurukshetra (2000), Pyaar Kiya Nahin Jaata (2003).

After a long gap of over 15 years, he was recently seen in Pahlaj Nihalani’s Rangeela Rajaa with Govinda, which released in January this year.

The Versova Police have registered a case of accidental death and informed Anand’s sister who lives in Mumbai, an official said.
