Actor Anil Kapoor is saddened by the death of ace cinematographer Ashok Mehta and considers himself lucky to have worked with him.
"Ever since the film industry began, there have been two-three great cinematographers and Ashok Mehta was one of them. I was lucky that I worked with him in at least eight films," the 52-year-old said on Wednesday (August 15) .
"Both of us started our careers together. I did Pukaar, Ram Lakhan, Trimurti with him. I think he got National Award for 36 Chowringhee Lane and Trikaal. His work was terrific," he added.
Aparna Sen's 36 Chowringhee Lane, Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen, Shyam Benegal's Mandi and Trikaal, Shashi Kapoor's Utsav, Subhash Ghai's Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak and Kisna and M.F. Hussain's Gaja Gamini form the list of Ashok Mehta's outstanding work.
