MUMBAI: Kumar Ramsay of the Ramsay Brothers has passed away at 85. 

The Ramsay Brothers set up the horror empire in Indian cinema. 

Kumar Ramsay, eldest of the Ramsay Brothers, passed away today, July 8, at the age of 85. According to a leading daily, he suffered a cardiac arrest. 

Kumar had written the scripts for many films, including Purana Mandir (1984), Saaya (1989) featuring Shatrughan Sinha and the 1989 hit Khoj.

The Ramsay Brother's origin can be traced back to Karachi, where their father - Fatehchand U Ramsinghani used to run a shop. 

After shifting to Mumbai post-partition, he decided to indulge in filmmaking. Ramsinghani soon adopted the Ramsay title. 

After the success of films like Shaheed-E-Azam Bhagat Singh, Rustom Sohrab, Ramsinghani pulled all seven sons into the film production business.

Soon, the production work was divided amongst the seven brothers. Their mothers and wives cooked and fed the crew and also did make-up. It was the perfect family business set-up.
