After Rituparno Ghosh, Indian Film Industry has lost yet another gem. Veteran Bollywood chorographer Oscar Unger, who was a part of the Vijay-Oscar duo, passed away at a hospital in Mumbai, on Thursday.

Unger, who initially worked as a gunner in the Indian Navy, met his partner Vijay there. Their first film together, as a team, was Mahesh Bhatt’s Manzilen Aur Bhi Hein.
