Yash Chopra’s magic on
Channel-4
|
A rare small screen honour for Yash Chopra
|
One
of the most successful directors, he has given crucial breaks to
two of Bollywood’s biggest superstars — Amitabh Bachchan and
Shahrukh Khan.
Nearly five
decades after his directorial debut with Dhool Ke Phool,
Yash Chopra’s magic continues.
Channel 4, a
popular UK channel, is paying tribute to Yash Chopra through a
film festival dedicated to him.
Titled ‘The
Magic of Yash Chopra’, the festival will feature movies
produced and directed by the legendary filmmaker. To be aired
every Monday till November 6, the festival will feature some of
his super hit films like Veer-Zaara, Dil To Pagal Hai and
Darr.
No other Indian
filmmaker has had a festival devoted to him or her on one of the
most important TV channels in the world.
Said Chopra, "I am truly
grateful for this honour. I’ve always made films for a global
audience and this special festival reaffirms my belief. I am
really humbled." — NF
