Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's elder brother and producer Vir Chopra is no more.

Confirming the news of his demise, Vidhu's wife and film critic Anupama Chopra penned an emotional note in his memory. She wrote- "Vinod always said that Vir was his better version - nice to a fault (no ma-behen gaalis), highly educated (PhD from London School of Economics) and measured instead of volatile. They looked so alike that when VC and I first got married, people would congratulate Vir. Forever now, his memory remains our blessing."

Several social media users condoled the death of Vir Chopra. Fashion designer Anaita Shroff Adajania commented, "So sorry for your loss." Reportedly, Vir, who had worked with Vidhu on films like Lage Raho Munna Bhai and 3 idiotsX passed away after battling Covid-19.
