Paying tributes to late Oscar-winning actor-filmmaker Richard Attenborough on Monday, Bollywood celebrities like Anil Kapoor and Shobhaa De recalled the importance of his monumental film 'Gandhi', which brought Mahatma Gandhi's life story alive cinematically for the generations to come.

Attenborough died in London Sunday night following prolonged illness. He was 90. His 1982 film, 'Gandhi', which won him two Oscars, is a biopic on Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who led India's non-violent independence movement against British rule.
