One hundred years ago, Indian cinema was born with Dadasaheb Phalke’s ‘Raja Harishchandra, in 1913. And a 100 years later, Bollywood has come a long way, with a talent explosion of sorts. The films keep getting bigger and better with each passing year. Naturally, the Bollywood industry is very excited, and is planning various events to commemorate the completion of 100 years of Indian cinema.

The awards functions to be held next year will be doubly special for this very reason. This is why Zee Cine awards decided to host a press conference in Panchgani, to officially announce the grand plans that are in motion.

We spotted Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone travel towards the sleepy town of Panchgani, to be present at the press conference to announce the Zee Cine Awards 2013.

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone interacted with Punit Goenka, MD & CEO Zee Entertainment Ltd, during the Zee Cine Awards 2013 press conference in Panchgani.
