    Jaipur fest to pay tribute to Jag Mundhra


    MUMBAI: Paying tribute to Jagmohan Mundhra, the Jaipur International Film Festival (JIFF) has decided to host a special section of his films.


    Films that would be screened as a mark of remembrance to the noted director include Kamla, Bawandar and Provoked.


     
    Mundhra, who had his family roots in Bikaner, attended the JIFF regularly; therefore, the need to acknowledge him and his works, say the organisers.


    Festival director of JIFF Hanu Roz said, “I called him just a day before his demise and since he left a DVD of his movie with me, he asked me to send it to him in Mumbai. We spoke about his upcoming movie too.”

    MUMBAI: Film director Jagmohan Mundhra passed away in Mumbai on Sunday.

    The 62-year-old died of peptic ulcer and was in the hospital for the last couple of days.

    Mundhra was known for issue-oriented films like Bawandar and the Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Provoked.

    Born in 1948 in a conservative Marwadi family, Mundhra studied engineering at IIT Mumbai and then moved to the US to do his M.Sc. But his ultimate calling was filmmaking. In 1982, he made Suraag with Sanjeev Kumar and Shabana Azmi in lead roles. This was followed up Kamla, a women-centric film which had Shabana Azmi and Deepti Naval.

    A regular at FICCI, Mundhra was immensely interested in different aspects of the current-day filmmaking.

    His last directorial venture was Naughty@40. He was preparing to shoot a satire, Kissa Kutte Ka. He was very keen to make a film on Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

    ‘Provoked’ parties on with Aishwarya Rai

    CANNES: The maker of Provoked – Jagmohan Mundhra, threw a party to celebrate the movie on the rooftop of the Noga Hilton at Cannes.

    Of course the star of the evening was the glam Aishwarya Rai who even dazzled the paparazzi and the locals in Cannes as she sashayed down the red carpet into the Grand Theatre Lumiere on Day One of the festival.

    L’Oreal has strategically placed a poster of Rai close to the Palais promoting her own cosmetic lipstick colour Color Riche Star Secrets No 708. In fact Mundhra was quite taken aback on 17 May when he and his colleagues turned around to look at her poster when they went past it. Way to go Ash!

    Meanwhile a star who had made it a point to be at the party was Poonam Dhillon who was dressed up in a lovely red sari looking extremely bootifull!
