Narendra Jha, who worked in several films such as Raees, Haider and Kaabil left the Bollywood fraternity in disbelief when news of his sudden death due to heart attack came out today morning.

The unexpected demise was a shock to many as Narendra was hale, hearty and all geared up for multiple new projects. Among the many lined up was Salman Khan starrer Race 3 for which the actor was going to join the unit in Abu Dhabi day after tomorrow for the further shoot.

A source revealed to PeepingMoon, "I met him(Narendra) recently at the shoot of Race 3. He was giving a lot of medical tips to a senior actor and mentioned that he belongs to a family full of doctors. The irony of life snatched him away. There is a possibility that his role might be curtailed or his character might be changed in the film. Makers are considering that Narendra's character could be replaced by another actor as well."

Another source says that Narendra had an important role in the film. He had a couple of scenes with Salman and the production team is now contemplating over his length of role or to replace him which means a lot of portions will be reshot.

In fact, according to reports, Narendra is also part of Prabhas' Saaho and Rajkummar Rao-Huma Qureshi starrer Priceless. What will happen to his roles in these films, is not yet known.

Narendra was 55 when he died of heart attack at his farmhouse in Nanegaon, Maharashtra after complaining about chest pain to the driver. “He had no health issues and last night (Tuesday) he was fine. He ate properly and spoke to us… Things were fine. Around 4 a.m. today, he felt a chest pain so we took him to a nearby hospital, but everything was over by then,” Lakshman Singh, the driver informed.
