The evergreen superstar of yesteryears, Dev Anand is all set to bring in his 84th birthday on September 26th. The actor who shares his birthday with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is all set to launch his autobiography on that day as well. The book will be released by the Prime Minister himself in New Delhi.
The book, which is called Romancing with Life, is based on the 62 years of his life in Mumbai. The actor, whose zest for life could out a 16-year-old to shame, is a hardcover book of 465 pages. It covers the 62 years of his life when he arrived in Mumbai from Pakistan, a non-entity with nothing in his pockets. After releasing his book with the Prime Minister, the actor will be back in Mumbai to release the book in the city and celebrate his birthday. As the actor-cum-director was busy penning his life story down, he was forced to put two of his movies on hold. One of them is based in Croatia and is called 'When Heartbeats Are the Same,' while the other is called 'Chargesheet' and is about police corruption. The book is also slated to be released at the Frankfurt Book Festival in October and in Stockholm where they will also show Hare Krishna Hare Ram. The book is being launched in London as well and his one-time protégé Tina Ambani is also believed to have agreed to attend.
