More than ten movies starring Sanjeev Kumar were released after his death, with the last one, ''[[Professor Ki Padosan]]'', released in 1993. At the time of his death, only about three-fourths of this movie was complete, and it was eventually decided to alter the story line in the second half to explain the absence of Kumar's character.
