The exact cause of his death has not been revealed yet.
After Dev Anand died in 2011, Suneil took over the family production house, Navketan Films, and continued to run it. He began his career assisting his father on several films before making his acting debut.
Suneil had studied business administration at American University in Washington, DC. He then went on to follow his father's footsteps and had spent several years working alongside his father.
Ahead of the actor's birth anniversary on September 26, 2023, Anand said that he had spent 40 years of his life just being with his father.
"I even coordinated taking our classic movie Guide to the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. It was the first Indian classic to be selected by the Cannes committee to be showcased at the festival. It was a major milestone for dad, for us, Navketan and India," he said.
