Ishwar Bidri shared a special bond with filmmaker JP Dutta and the two had collaborated on several projects like Yateem, Hathyar, Batwara and Border. JP Dutta got emotional in an interview with PTC. He said, “It has been a very long journey, we started in 1976. My first film Sarhad never got to see the light of the day. Then we worked on Ghulami, Yateem, Batwara, Hathyar, and Border. He was a decent, honest man. He has one of the most hardworking cameramen I ever worked with. Coming from Guru Dutt sahab’s school of cinema, he was a great asset to me. I was much junior to him. He had seen me growing up as a filmmaker and my entire journey. He would keep dropping by at the office for a cup of tea. He was like family.”
We offer condolences to Ishwar Bidri’s friends and family. For more updates, stay tuned to Koimoi.
