The
students
of
Whistling
Woods
International
were
in
for
a
lovely
surprise
when
they
were
told
that
Film
Industry
legend,
B
R
Chopra
would
be
interacting
with
them
about
his
experiences
in
the
entertainment
business
on
his
93rd
birthday.
Mr.
Chopra
was
joined
at
the
institute
by
his
son,
renowned
filmmaker
Mr.
Ravi
Chopra
and
other
members
of
his
family.
He
planted
a
tree
at
Whistling
Woods
to
symbolize
the
knowledge
and
wisdom
he
was
about
to
impart
to
the
students.
The students were shown scenes from a number of his films which included clips from his songless thriller Kanoon, his ground breaking court-drama Insaf Ka Tarazu, the black and white classic Naya Daur and his mega-serial Mahabharat. The other films directed by him include Nikaah, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Humraaz and Gumraah. For his achievement in film, Mr. Chopra was conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1998. The WWI students presented him with a book on Buddha and a shawl and in return Mr. Chopra presented them a signed copy of a series of books on The Mahabharat.
Commenting on his visit to Whistling Woods International, Subhash Ghai, Chairman, Mukta Arts Limited, said, "B.R. Chopra is one of the those legends who has gone beyond a veteran film maker and a great story teller in Hindi Cinema when he serialized the retelling of the Indian epic 'Mahabharat' to millions of Indians who knew about the epic but not in the detail that influences lives. His Mahabharat influenced people of India in all walks of life...he revolutionized Indian TV with a new look and new content. He has always been my source of inspiration in the art of story telling through his variety of themes and issues on screen since my school days and it's a great honour for all of us at Whistling Woods to honour him on his 93rd birthday".
