Filmmaker Ravi Chopra, son of late B.R. Chopra, is warded at the Breach Candy hospital here due to a lung ailment.

A source from the hospital said, "Yes, Ravi Chopra is here and is in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit)."
According to informed sources, the 66-year-old filmmaker was taken to hospital a few days back.

Ravi Chopra directed "The Burning Train" (1980), "Aaj Ki Awaz" (1984), "Baghban" (2003) and "Baabul" (2006) among others.

Filmmaker Yash Chopra, Ravi Chopra's uncle, died Sunday.

The 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) will pay special homage to Bollywood director Yash Chopra, who died Sunday.

Manoj Srivastava, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Entertainment Society of Goa, which co-organises the festival, said Tuesday a cinematic tribute to the filmmaker was on the cards.

"The festival wanted to pay tribute to the creative genius of Yash Chopra. Now it will be a homage to the great soul," he said.

Yash Chopra's final shot for his last directorial "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" was a song with Katrina Kaif in a chiffon sari at his favourite location - the Swiss Alps, reveals designer Manish Malhotra.

"We were to go to the Swiss Alps to shoot a song with Katrina (Kaif) in chiffon saris. He discussed the saris with passion and used to tell me that 'I want you to be there at the shoot'," tweeted Malhotra.

Varun Dhawan, whose launch vehicle "Student of the Year" has got favourable response at the box office, says his father, filmmaker David Dhawan, is proud of him.

"He is reacting not like a director but as a father. He is just very proud that I am doing something in life and my first film has released, people have liked my performance," the 24-year-old said here in an interview.

Meanwhile, Varun is elated with megastar Amitabh Bachchan praising him on twitter.
