Veteran actor Jitendra presented with Dadasaheb Phalke award!

Jitendra, whose acting career in Bollywood spanned three decades, was freshly honored with 2014's Dadasaheb Phalke award in Mumbai.

After receiving the honour, the 72-year-old actor expressed his gratitude to all the people who shaped his career.

"I would like to thank my film industry, all my directors, actors, my light boys, spot boys, art directors. I am standing here today because of them. They always hid my weaknesses and always worked hard on me to encourage my talent. Had they not been there, I would have never become Jitendra from Ravi Kapoor. Last but not the least, I thank my family," he told.

In the meantime Farhan Akhtar, who won the Best Actor award for 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' at the event, told "I am very happy that my film, my work has been appreciated here. It is an honour to receive an award from honourable Governor, an award that is a tribute in the name of Dadasaheb Phalke who is the father of Indian cinema".

Also, Juhi Chawla won the Best Actress award for 'Gulaab Gang' and expressed pleasure in receiving the honour.

"This one has been specially given to me for the performance in "Gulaab Gang". I have been honoured with this award for "Gulaab Gang", so I am very thrilled that my first negative role received such nice recognition," she told.

Other celebs who won an award included Sunidhi Chauhan as the Best Singer, actor Gautam Rode for Best Television Actor male, actress Heena Khan in the category of Best Television Actor female and actor Kapil Sharma for his hit comedy show 'Comedy Nights with Kapil'.

He is known for playing powerful roles, but now Ajay Devgn is ready to copy Bollywood's "Jumping Jack" Jitendra's dance moves in his new movie "Himmatwala", which is based on the 1983 film of the same name.

"I am ready to do anything, be it action or dance... You can't look at one department; it is a film in totality... I am looking at the whole film right now," Ajay said journalists.

Sajid Khan told, director of the new version of "Himmatwala", "Ajay's image is action and intense oriented, but for me, he is a complete hero. He can do anything. Our film is not a take off on 'Himmatwala'. It's not a spoofy film.

"It is based on 1983 film 'Himmatwala' and it is my version of 'Himmatwala'. You will get to see many things which were not there in 'Himmatwala'. Actually, they are two different stories. We have taken rights officially for the film and for the two songs."

Directed by Telugu filmmaker K. Raghvedra, Jeetendra and Sridevi-starrer "Himmatwala" was a super hit film of 1983.

Sajid tells Jeetendra may do a guest appearance in his film.

"I will ask Jeetu-ji to do a cameo in the film. For Ajay, it is like homecoming because his dad did action for 'Himmatwala'. This time around the action will be completely new and different."

Ajay told, "I am asking him (Jeetendra) to do that cameo. I don't know if he would do that or not."

To be co-produced by Vashu Baghnani and UTV Motion Pictures, the film's leading lady is not yet finalized.
