WB to fund conservation of icons' homes

Pakistani authorities say work on Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor's ancestral homes to begin soon

Bollywood's Showman Raj Kapoor's children and grandchildren, including actors Randhir, Kareena and Ranbir, joined other industry luminaries like Rekha and Sanjay Leela Bhansali to celebrate the legacy of the Hindi cinema showman at an event on Friday.

A day before the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, the premiere of five of his iconic films - Awara, Shree 420, Sangam, Mera Naam Joker and Bobby - was held at a multiplex in Mumbai, as part of a three-day festival to showcase the restored classics.

The red carpet was adorned with movie posters of Raj Kapoor's impressive filmography that has shaped Indian cinema. Agencies
