The National award-winning actor is super excited to team up with Rohit again and said, “Rohit and I had wanted to collaborate again since a long time but he kept saying that he didn’t have a role for me. I got a call from him a month ago for Golmaal Again and I flew down to Mumbai for a narration with Sajid-Farhad, who are writing the dialogues.

Mumbai, India — Bollywood movie mogul Yash Chopra, whose classic love tales made him the Indian film industry's "King of Romance," has died after contracting dengue fever. He was 80.
Chopra's earliest major hits included the 1975 action film "Deewar" ("Wall") and the romance "Kabhi Kabhie – Love is Life" in 1976, both of which helped establish Amitabh Bachchan as Bollywood's biggest star. The popular 1989 film "Chandni" ("Moonlight") had Chopra's signature touches: romance, music and a European setting.
He also directed "Dil To Pagal Hai" (The Heart Is Mad), "Lamhe" ("Moments") and "Veer-Zaara," which won the popular award at the International Indian Film Academy and the Golden Lotus award at India's National Film Awards. His final film, "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" ("As Long As I Am Alive"), is scheduled for release across India next month.
Chopra died Sunday in Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital. In addition to dengue, he suffered kidney ailments, according to Dr. Prakash Jiyavani.

Priyadarshan, who's shooting in distant Karaikudi, cannot believe his Tamil film Kanchivaram has won the National Award for best film. "Can you believe, in my career of 25 years as film director, this is the first time my film won an award. And that I've won it for Kanchivaram is a very special event for me. This film is very close to my heart," says the director emotionally, even as he prepares for the release of his next masala film De Dana Dan. "Now when the critics see De Dana Dan, they'll say Priyan is back to his old tricks," chuckles the prolific director. "But I am proud of my masala films as well. It's very important for a film to get an audience. And my comedies are big successes. I can't fight success. I will continue to make the massy comedies," says the director whose films have often been accused...
