Samir Ganguly

Apart from hindi films, the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor has made a distinct name in the foray into international films. Shashi Kapoor left indelible marks in his films, which are a treasure trove for posterity

Veteran filmmaker Samir Ganguly recently opened up about Shammi Kapoor’s attitude after the blockbuster success of Junglee (1961). He revealed that the actor became “egoistic” and demanded eight times his fee for the next project, which ultimately led to him being replaced by Biswajeet in April Fool opposite Saira Banu.

A passenger from Guwahati, who was on his way to Chennai for leukaemia treatment, died on the train between Saithia and Suri stations when the train was detained in a rail obstruction on Tuesday.

Aseem Chhabra's delightful biography of Indian cinema's handsomest actor throws light on his happy-go-lucky streak. He chose films with charming recklessness.
