The brothers lost both their parents to sudden deaths, a traumatic experience which inspired Ravi to write a short film. “Sudden Death” follows the lives of two families affected by sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, according to IMDB. The syndrome is a fatal condition where someone dies suddenly from cardiac arrest but the cause cannot be determined.
Many who knew Ravi, like Magali Simard, a former colleague at TIFF, spoke of his joyful smile and zest for life. “He was moved by the Pakistani film ‘Joyland,’ which he predicted would go to Oscars,” Khan said. “He cared for South Asian cinema.”
