National award-winning cinematographer Ashok Mehta on postal stamp

Ashok Mehta

To commemorate 100 years of Indian cinema, the postal authority has issued a stamp with the image of ace cinematographer-filmmaker Ashok Mehta, who passed away on August 15 last year.

Known for his work in Bandit Queen, Utsav andParoma, the National Award winner (for 36 Chowringhee Lane and Moksh, a film he directed) lost the battle to cancer last year. 

With the postal stamp, he will of course remain in Indian cinema's history books forever.
