Shekhar Kapur, Dev Anand reunite

Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has reunited with his actor uncle Dev Anand after eight years apart.

The director, who has had box office success in both Bollywood and Hollywood with Masoom and Elizabeth, said that his 86-year-old uncle is an evergreen star and that his fanbase is still continuing to grow.

"I suddenly realised I hadn't met this amazing man, Dev saab, for almost eight years. I told myself it's time to learn a little bit about life from Dev saab," Kapur, 64, told IANS.

"He's a karmyogi, completely fearless. I admire myself for being completely fearless. But I think he is even more fearless than I am.

"I didn't even meet him after Goldie (Vijay Anand) saab's death. My fault. I was constantly travelling in recent years. I needed to re-connect with this amazing man who has gone through so many ups and downs in his life and yet continues to be tireless in his enthusiasm to make films."

Kapur added: "Wherever he goes, he's cheered and applauded. Maybe people don't like to see his films any more. But the love for the man simply grows wherever he goes."
