The prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke awards were given out to film personalities on May 4 in Mumbai's Bhaidas Auditorium in suburban Vile Parle. Among the many recipients were film producer Surinder Kapoor. His sons Boney and Sanjay Kapoor as well as daughter-in-law Sridevi were present at the function to cheer him. Son Anil Kapoor could not make it, as he is currently in Los Angeles.

Surinder Kapoor started his career as an assistant director in his cousin Prithviraj Kapoor's film, Mughal-e-Azam, and went on to produce films like Tarzan Comes to Delhi and Ponga Pundit.
