Bollywood legend, Yash Chopra, who passed away, last year will soon be honored with the title of ‘Father of Contemporary Indian Cinema.’
The award will be given as part of a special tribute at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), in the celebration of 100 years of Indian cinema. The award will be received by Yashji’s wife, Pamela Chopra and speaking of the award, she said, "Yashji had a close connection with the IFFM. He was happy to support it as he believed in promoting Indian films in foreign countries. I am grateful to the festival and the Victorian government for this honour and happy to travel to Melbourne to collect the same and keep the support and connection alive."
Apart from this honor, the Agora cinema in Melbourne is being renamed as Yash Chopra Cinema, which will be inaugurated by Pamela on May 6th of this year.
