Monday 3 December was the much-missed Dev Anand’s first death anniversary. To honour him UTV Stars decided to unveil a sculpture of the iconic star as part of its <em>Walk Of The Stars</em> series. The unveiling ceremony was to be done by Dev <em>Saab</em>’s son Suniel and one of his favourite heroines Waheeda Rehman at the Marriot hotel on Tuesday morning. Weirdly, the ceremony was scheduled for 4 December, a day after Dev <em>Saab</em>’s death anniversary.

Suneil Anand is very happy with the way his legendary father Dev Anand’s fans and friends responded to his 89th birthday. “We had an afternoon tea party in Dad’s memory. That stretched on to the whole evening. Finally a group of us close friends ended up at dinner. So we were celebrating till the wee hours,” said Anand on the morning after Dev Saab’s bash.

Paying his respect to his father Dev Anand on the late actor’s 89th birth anniversary (today 26 September 2012), his son Suneil has announced that he will make a movie titled Vagator Mixer under the banner of Navketan Films. <em>Vagator Mixer</em> will be an English language movie based on the theme of the famous Vagator beach in Goa, said Suneil. Suniel said he will write the script, direct and play the lead role in the movie, which will be formally launched in December.

The forthcoming 14th Mumbai Film Festival has decided to honour yesteryear veteran actress Waheeda Rehman with the Lifetime Achievement Award at an eight-day film extravaganza which starts on 18 October. “This year we have decided to award the Lifetime Achievement Award to Waheeda Rehman for the extraordinary work she has put in the last 60 years,” Shyam Benegal, filmmaker and MAMI chairman said in a statement.

With Dev Anand’s first death anniversary due to be observed on 3 December this year, his son Suniel Anand has revealed that he has been working on a Dev Anand museum. Dev Anand's museum will have the actor's personal belongings such as film scripts, props and posters. Even his hats and scarves that were an integral part of the actor's persona will be on display at the museum.
