Dev Anand's memoirs will be published this year
|
HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA! Will the book tell all?
This is a highly anticipated book. Matinee idol Dev Anand has written his autobiography, tentatively titled Romancing with Life.
He handed over the manuscript, which apparently runs into 100 chapters, to Penguin India at Anand Recording Studio.
The book, which is likely to be published later this year, promises to be the biggest memoir ever penned by a leading movie personality, covering six decades of Hindi cinema.
It covers every aspect of Dev Anand's extraordinary career in Bollywood, from his arrival in Bombay from pre-Partition Punjab in the 1940s to his rise to stardom and fame as actor, producer and director, and his association with legendary figures such as Suraiya, Guru Dutt, R.D. Burman and Zeenat Aman.
His life
Speaking about the book, Dev Anand said: "This book is my life. I have spent over 60 glorious years in show business, sitting in the front row all the time. And I have watched my country grow from pre-Independence to the present day from a mountaintop. It just happened. I never planned it that way. This is my way of giving back to the world what I've taken for so many years. This is my story. Every breath captured is mine."
That would be an incredible story and we are waiting for the latest production from Navketan!
