Vidhu Vinod Chopra, known for producing films like Munnabhai M.B.B.S and 3 Idiots, will be honoured by the Indian Film Festival of London (IFFL) June 25-29 for his contribution to cinema.
A retrospective of his films will also be organised at the festival, which will come to a closure with a charity screening of 3 Idiotsand proceeds of which will go to the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef).
"3 Idiots is a special film. It’s a film that has changed my own daughter's outlook towards education and she has taken up classical dancing full time. To have a charity screening for Unicef only echoes what the film is trying to say and we are really proud to be associated with such a noble cause," Chopra said in a press statement.
His films like An Encounter With Faces (1978), Parinda (1989), 1942: A Love Story (1993), Eklavya: The Royal Guard (2007) will be screened at the festival.
The retrospective will be followed by a question and answer session.
The festival will be held at London's Riverside Studios.
