Mumbai: Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha feels that the Dadasaheb Phalke award has come to Pran, an actor par excellence, 'too late' but adds that the 93-year-old deserves the honour and it is 'better late than never'.
"I'd say the honour is too late, too little, too delayed but thoroughly deserving for an incomparable actor who is also a kind and helpful human being. 'Der aaye par durust aaye'. Better late than never and I'd like to add better never than 'late'," said Sinha.
The 'Kalicharan' fame actor says that he rooted for Pran earlier, but that time it was given to other actors. The veteran actor was named for the honour Friday.
"What is the point of honouring the dead? We're fortunate to have Pran saab with us and that he got the Dadasaheb Phalke award during his lifetime. He is an actor par excellence and a great human being," he said. ...more

It is said that it's better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. Obviously not everyone from Bollywood agrees.

Remaking classics It's clearly the riskiest proposition to adapt when you're pressed for an original idea. Remaking a classic...
