Yash Patnaik remembers late Nitin Desai with emotional note; refers to him as Vishwakarma

Nitin Chandrakant Desai, a four-time National Award winner for Best Art Direction, was found dead at his ND Studio in Karjat. Producer Yash Patnaik, who has worked with Nitin in two of his projects, reminisces about his time with the eminent art director.

 

 

He says in a message to the late director,

”The news of your death came to me as a rude shock. We have worked together on two projects — Chehra and Nagarjun. Whenever we met he used to talk about the incident architecture of Odisha temples – use of horses, elephants in the sculptures which influenced his designs and his work.”

He also adds,

“at times we also had creative arguments as well; whether we had agreements, disagreements, fights or patch-ups — every time, he would always tell me that we should work again and again. But now we never will.”

After giving hit shows such as ‘Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera’, ‘Sadda Haq’, ‘Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi’, ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan’, ‘Dear Ishq’, ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’ Yash and Mamta Patnaik’s  production house ‘Inspire Films Limited’ is considered a sought after production house in terms of content.
