Dilip Kumar reminisces about B.R.Chopra

Legendary filmmaker B.R. Chopra who died in Mumbai early Wednesday morning was "warm and affectionate" and remained accessible as well as attentive to everyone - including spot boys, says Bollywood thespian Dilip Kumar.


"All of Chopra Sahab's films reflected the refinement that his fine academic background gave and the sensitivity that an eventful life gifted him with," says yesteryear star Dilip Kumar.
The legendary actor described Chopra as "more a friend than a producer or director when we worked on the films which brought us together".

He recalled the time they spent together at Chopra's house, sharing views on various aspects of filmmaking.

"It was always invigorating for me as an actor because he always appreciated the fact that I needed to delve into the sensibilities of the character I was rendering," he explained.

One of Dilip Kumar's biggest hits came in the form of Chopra's super hit Naya Daur. Speaking about filming for the movie which was largely shot outside the city, Dilip Kumar said, "Chopra Sahab made them like picnics, he was engagingly witty at times and full of quotes and anecdotes about great political or literary personalities."

Chopra died at 8.15 a.m. Wednesday at his residence in suburban Juhu. He was 94 years of age.
