MUMBAI — Veteran actor Shashi Kapoor was honored with the Lifetime Achievement award at the closing ceremony of the sixth Jagran Film Festival in Mumbai on Sunday, NDTV reported. The legendary actor, who received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement honour by filmmaker Shyam Benegal. Kapoor, 77, is best known for his nuanced performances in memorable films like “Satyam Shivam Sundaram,” “Trishul,” “Kabhi Kabhie,” “Vijeta” and “Kalyug.” Despite his ill health, Kapoor attended the ceremony to receive the award. Director Sudhir Mishra said that no honor can match up to Kapoor's achievements, and it is because of his relentless work in offbeat cinema that the current Indian filmmakers “still hold the wish to make something different.” “He did a lot of commercial films but his preferred films were offbeat ones which he produced and encouraged. His contribution is enormous in Indian cinema,” said actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui. — Agencies
