Actor Khalilur Rahman Babar, popular for reprising negative roles in films during the 70s and 80s, has died at the age of 68, reports bdnews24.com.
He passed away during treatment at the capital's Square Hospital at 09.10 am on Monday, his wife Sultana Rahman confirmed.
Babar had long been suffering from a combination of diabetes, blood pressure and lung ailments, she said.
Babar, also a film producer and director, had one of his feet amputated due to the spread of gangrene up to his left knee in June of this year.
He was admitted to hospital on Thursday after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Despite gaining recognition predominantly as a movie villain, Babar made his silver screen debut as a protagonist in the Amjad Hossain's 'Banglar Mukh'.
