Bollywood Legend Dev Anand passed away on Saturday December 3, 2011 at the age of 88. Hindi cinema’s evergreen star who epitomised the suave, urban gentleman on screen, died after a cardiac arrest in London.  He was loved and adored for who he was - a happy-go-lucky man, who was full of life. Mr. Anand received the prestigious Filmfare Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1992. In 2001 he received India’s third-highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan, for his contribution to Hindi cinema.

Police was also asked to take action against public display of posters and promotional advertisements of the controversial movie.  The petitioner said the posters and hoardings of the film were spoiling the minds of the people and causing harm to the society.

Buzz is that the release date of Saif Ali Khan's next, Agent Vinod will not be announced until director Sriram Raghavan is sure of meeting his deadline. Sources also say that a couple of day's time of shoot is also pending. Earlier, the film's release was scheduled for December 9. Talking about the time taken to make the spy-thriller, a source says, "After completing a schedule, Sriram would edit the portions and revisit the script. This would help him figure out if some scenes in the next schedules could be replaced by just a couple of intermediate shots. So the screenplay and shot division for the next schedules would undergo some change, for a better product, instead of salvaging it on the editing table."
