Pamela Chopra & Anupam Kher to attend ��Remembering Yash Chopra�۪ at LAFF 2014

The 16th London Asian Film Festival (LAFF) is all set to take place between the 1st and 14th of June.�� A special event has been organised for Saturday 7th June, titled ��Remembering Yash Chopra�۪, which will celebrate the life and work of the legendary filmmaker who passed away in 2012.

��Remembering Yash Chopra�۪ will see respected professor and writer, Rachel Dwyer, in conversation with Chopra�۪s wife, Pamela.�� Pamela Chopra has been a successful playback singer and also worked as a producer, writer and costume designer on many of her husband�۪s films, including ��Kabhi Kabhie�۪ (1976), ��Silsila�۪ (1981) and ��Dil To Pagal Hai�۪ (1997).

Dwyer, who has earlier written a biography on Yash Chopra, says, ���The work of Yash Chopra is one of the glories of Indian film, his career bridging the Hindi cinema of the 1950s and the globalising India of today.�� Nothing made him happier than making films; then having his family and friends around him for a great meal: ���Family, films and food�۝.�� His wife Pamela was the centre of his world and his strength.�۝

Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who had worked under Chopra�۪s directorial wand in films such as ��Lamhe�۪ (1991) and ��Darr�۪ (1993), will also be making an appearance at the event.

The ��Remembering Yash Chopra�۪ evening will be held at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) in London between 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm.
