Army chief will be at Dev Saab’s premiere

Dev Anand’s cult classic Hum Dono is releasing in colour on February 4 this year.

The veteran actor invited the army chief as the main guest at the premiere, which is likely to include a lot of B-Towners as well.

Anand says, “Since the film pays a tribute to the Indian army, during the premiere of Hum Dono in 1961 I had invited Lieutenant General Choudhary, who was the area commander in Southern Command then.

He was an important man. He asked me to come to the Gun house in Bombay.

I went to meet him and had a few drinks and drove to the main Eros theatre. Now 50 years later when I am holding the premiere of the film again, I have invited Lieutenant General Sanjeev Chopra to be the chief guest.

He is the area commander in Southern Command. And he will come. I am very thrilled.”
