Ali Zafar to receive Dadasaheb Phalke academy awards

MUMBAI: Singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar will receive the Dadasaheb Phalke academy awards here today.

The 31-year-old actor made his acting debut in Bollywood in 2010 with a small budget film ‘Tere Bin Laden’, which was a surprise hit at the box office. His next outing ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulan’ alongside Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan, was a hit. His last release was ‘London Paris New York’, which also did a decent business at Box Office.

I am getting Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards. I have flown in from Dubai to receive the award personally tomorrow. I am feeling honoured to get such a prestigious award. To receive an award of this stature is a huge achievement for me. I am thankful to the academy," Zafar told reporters.
