Bappi Da once stated that he wanted Ranveer Singh to play him in a biopic when he was younger. Bappi Lahiri previously discussed how filmmakers approached him about developing a film about his life. While speaking about it, the legendary singer-composer stated that while nothing has been finalised, he would love to see actor Ranveer Singh play a younger version of himself.

Bappi Da passed away on 16th February, 2022 at CritiCare hospital, Chembur, Mumbai. “Lahiri had been admitted to the hospital for a month and was discharged on Monday. But his health deteriorated on Tuesday and his family called for a doctor to visit their home. He was brought to the hospital. He had multiple health issues. He died due to OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) shortly before midnight.” said doctor Deepak Namjoshi, the director of CritiCare hospital.
