"Waman
Saab
passed
away
this
morning.
One
of
the
greats
of
cinema
has
fallen.
One
of
the
best
editors
that
the
film
industry
has
known.
There
was
a
time
when
he
was
editing
films
of
the
biggest
and
best.
His
editing
room
at
the
EL
CID
building
near
Pali
Market
saw
names
like
Shekhar
Kapur,
Mahesh
Bhatt,
Gulzar,
Raj
Khosla,
Boney
Kapoor,
Mukul
Anand
and
so
many
more,
on
an
everyday
basis.
He
was
my
teacher.
Taught
me
film
editing.
He
was
my
friend,
my
guide.
The
memories
of
the
days
and
nights
spent
in
his
company
come
at
me
like
a
Tsunami.
With
him,
a
piece
of
me
is
gone
forever,"
the
director-producer
mentioned
in
his
emotional
note.
In
a
career
spanning
over
four
decades,
Waman
Bhosle
worked
as
an
editor
on
many
popular
films
like
Dostana,
Ghulam,
Do
Raaste,
Agneepath,
Aandhi,
Parichay,
Mausam,
Ram
Lakhan,
Saudagar,
Khalnayak
among
others.
He
also
bagged
a
National
Award
for
Inkaar
in
1977.
Filmibeat
offers
heartfelt
condolence
to
his
family.
