V Shantaram

Google doodle on Saturday honoured Indian film director Shantaram Rajaram Vankudre, popularly known as V Shantaram, on his 116th birth anniversary.

Exactly 75 years ago on this day, Indian cinema had its watershed moment with release of the Marathi movie Manoos (man) that, perhaps for the first time, made a bold attempt to explore realities of the life of a sex worker.

Amitabh Bachchan got nostalgic when he returned to late filmmaker V Shantaram's Rajkamal Studios, where he had shot many important sequences for his blockbuster movie Deewaar, for an advertisement shoot.

Remo D'Souza has expressed his desire to do a film with actress Madhuri Dixit, which would be on the lines of noted filmmaker V Shantaram's classics Navrang and Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje.

Audiences got a rare opportunity to watch V Shantaram's rare 1937 social classic Duniya Na Mane screened on the opening day of the Delhi Book Fair.

Noted film historian BD Garga died in the wee hours this morning following a few days of brief illness. He was 86.
