Bollywood filmmaker, Prakash Mehra, died on May 17th at the age of 69. Mehra had been suffering from prolonged illnesses and had his final stunt with pneumonia and multiple organ failure this past weekend. His funeral took place at the Oshiwara cremation grounds in Mumbai, India on Monday. By his side was his family as well as the acting community, most notably Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan's career was launched by Mehra in the late 70's with the film "Zangeer". After that, the two teamed up to create multiple blockbusters, making Amitabh the iconic Bollywood superstar he is today. The talented duo unfortunately split ways after they worked on the 1989 Bollywood film "Jaadugar" together; the films failure being the leading cause.

Upon notice of Mehra's recent stays at the hospital, Amitabh reportedly paid him several visits in hopes to patch up their rocky relationship. On Monday, Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek attended Mehra's funeral to pay last respects to the man that made Amitabh a star. Also in attendance was a slew of the Bollywood fraternity such as Yash Chopra and Bappi Lahiri.


Aside from launching Big B, Mehra was also responsible for directing many of Bollywood's top actors, including Vinod Khanna. His career in the film industry began in 1950 as a production controller. Soon after, Merah made his directing debut with the film "Haseena Maan Jayegi". Since then, Mehra produced hits that won over the Bollywood community, making him a cherished and beloved director. Drop your comments below to pay your last respects to the talented late Prakash Mehra.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
