CHANDIGARH: Popular comedian and film director Jaspal Bhatti, who touched a chord with the masses with his humorous take on problems plaguing the common man, died when his car rammed into a roadside tree in the wee hours on Thursday.

The satirist's son Jasraj who was driving the car and actress Surilie Gautam, the heroine of his film 'Power Cut' which is to be released on Friday, were seriously injured in the mishap, police said.

The 57-year-old actor-director, who made his way into the hearts of his people with his satirical shows like 'Ulta Pulta' and 'Flop Show', was on a tour to promote the film when the accident took place near Shahkot in Nakodar area of the district at 2.30am, Bhatti's associate Vinod Sharma said.

They were rushed to a private hospital in Jalandhar where Bhatti was declared brought dead.

"His body was brought to the hospital after 3am and after medical examination he was declared dead," said Dr Harpreet Singh.

Bhatti leaves behind his wife Savita, a son and a daughter Raabiya.

Sharma said that Bhatti was going to Jalandhar from Bhatinda for the promotion of his Punjabi film which is based on the frequent power cuts in Punjab.

Bhatti's son Jasraj and Gautam have been referred to a Ludhiana hospital now.

According to doctors, they are in a stable but critical condition.

Born on March 3, 1955 at Amritsar, Bhatti graduated from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh as an electrical engineer.

During his college days, he was popular for his street plays which were spoofs ridiculing corruption in society. Before venturing into television, he was a cartoonist for the The Tribune newspaper in Chandigarh.

His satire on the Punjab police 'Mahaul Theek Hai' was his first directorial venture in Punjabi language. He played the role of Jolly Good Singh, a guard, in the movie 'Fanaa'. He also starred in the comedy Punjabi film 'Jijaji'.

Bhatti and his wife Savita competed in a reality show 'Nach Baliye' in 2008. The couple put their best foot forward to entertain the audiences with their dancing and comic skills.

The cremation is expected to take place later this evening after his body is brought here after completion of various legal formalities, including post-mortem, Sharma said

RIP Bhatti, we willmiss you.

 RIP but what do you mean by "wt a bad for fan like us"? 
I did a little bit of research on google and didn't find anything that revealed about him being a promising young actor/director or anything of that sort.

 He was an established personality. Have watched his serials and comedy quite a bit. He was something like MAHA or Santosh Pant of India.

Art knows no boundary, and in this case it couldn't be any more truth.
Bhatti paaji was one of a kind in Durdarshan shows. His comedic line delivery while maintaining a sad face was classic. Rodney Dangerfield would probably be my comparison on him.
RIP bhatti sahab
