Film Heritage Foundation on Saturday announced a film festival to celebrate late cinema legend Dilip Kumar's 100th birth anniversary. The festival, titled 'Dilip Kumar Hero Of Heroes', will be held on December 10 and 11, the not-for-profit organisation, founded by filmmaker and archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, said in a press release. 

During the film gala, organised in partnership with leading multiplex chain PVR Cinemas, Kumar's critically-acclaimed movies, including "Aan" (1952), "Devdas" (1955), "Ram Aur Shyam" (1967) and "Shakti" (1982), will be screened in over 30 cinema halls and 20 cities across the country. Dungarpur said the festival is an incredible opportunity to bring back "one of the greatest actors of Indian cinema on the big screen". Kumar died at the age of 98 in July 2021. "He truly is the 'Hero of Heroes' as even today he is an actor that the biggest stars look up to. Film Heritage Foundation could think of no better way to celebrate this milestone than a festival of his films back in theatres.
