MUMBAI: A lot of times it has happened that an actor passes away even before a movie is complete and another actor is roped in to replace him or her. But, this also happens with filmmakers.

Raj Kapoor (Henna)

Veteran actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor had started shooting for Rishi Kapoor and Zeba Bakhtiar starrer Henna. But, he passed away during the filming, and later Randhir Kapoor stepped into his father’s shoes to complete the movie.
