"He continues to be very critical. Greatly with us," Ram Narain, COO, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, told Tuesday morning.

The 84-year-old was admitted to the hospital Saturday following a severe cardiac problem, which later resulted in a kidney malfunction.

He entered the film world within the 1952, and featured in movies like "Watan Se Door", "Daada", "Rustom-E-Baghdad", "Sher Dil", "Sikandar E Azam", "Raaka", "Mera Naam Joker" and "Dharam Karam".

He could also be remembered for his portrayal of Hanuman in 1980s TV series "Ramayan".
