Producer Firoz Nadiadwala, who had been looking after the ailing Neeraj Vora for over a year, on Thursday mourned the demise of his "brother and friend". Vora, the man who made everyone laugh both on-and-off the screen, came into his own as the writer of Ram Gopal Varma's "Rangeela" and Daud and also made a big impact playing comic roles in films like "Akele Hum Akele Tum", "Daud", "Satya" and "Welcome Back", besides directing "Phir Hera Pheri". He died early on Thursday at the age of 54.
