Production house Roy Kapur Films has paid tribute to shooter and coach Jaspal Rana, who died at 49 following a cardiac emergency. In a social media post, the banner confirmed it had been working with Rana on a script based on his life.
In its tribute, Roy Kapur Films wrote, “We mourn the passing of Jaspal Rana, a true champion, an extraordinary coach, and one of the architects of India's sporting excellence. His achievements on the shooting range brought glory to the nation, but perhaps his greatest legacy lies beyond the medals in the countless young athletes he inspired, mentored, and shaped through his unwavering dedication to the sport he loved. Throughout his life, he embodied discipline, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, devoting himself to nurturing the next generation of Indian champions.”
The production house also reflected on its time working with Rana, saying, “As we worked together with him on developing his incredible story for celluloid, we were deeply moved by his passion and singular commitment to helping his students realize their full potential and always being focused on the future of Indian sport. Yet beyond his achievements and dedication, what we will cherish most is his irreverence, his dry sense of humour, and his remarkable ability to keep everyone around him laughing. No matter the situation, he had us in splits with his stories, wit, and infectious spirit, bringing joy to every interaction.”
Rana had recently returned from the ISSF World Cup in Munich and reportedly experienced chest discomfort during the journey back. After landing in New Delhi, he was admitted to Max Hospital, Saket, where doctors found a cardiac blockage. A stent was inserted and his condition stabilised initially, but he passed away on Friday morning.
