We are sad to announce that Suresh Ayyar has passed away this week from Motor Neurone disease.
The very well respected and accomplished film editor leaves behind 53 credits to his name, including Romulus My Father, The Interview, Iron Sky, Bad Boy Bubby, The Wog Boy and Danny Deckchair among a great host of others.
Mourning the loss, his peers have remembered him as brilliant and egoless, a generous man and a fantastic technician.
Travel well Suresh Ayyar. Lovely, brilliant, warm human. Only met him a few times, but he left a lasting impression on me.
