Veteran actor Dharmendra took to his Instagram to share the unveiling of the invitation to the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022.
The senior Bollywood star wrote in the caption: “Friends, with love to you all, I’m delighted to unveil the mesmerising invitation to India’s most prestigious awards ceremony, Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022, in affiliation with incredible India and Zee5.” Outlining the historical past and relevance of the occasion, which will likely be held in Mumbai on February 20, Dharmendra mentioned the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) was first held in 2012 and had been “applauded” by the Prime Minister’s Office and the ministries of Culture and Tourism. He stated that DPIFF carries ahead the legacy of Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, who is “lovingly known as Dadasaheb Phalke, the Father of Indian Cinema”. He concluded by saying that it was our country’s “only independent international film festival, with a mission to celebrate three broad segments of cinema and the work of aspiring, young, independent and professional filmmakers”.
