@chiefkanran
This loss is particularly overwhelming, as he had only just concluded his last acting performance on one of my projects.

May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus, be with his family, and give them the strength to carry through this loss.

Rest well, sir."
