Prithvi Theatre Festival
Each year, the Prithvi Theatre Festival takes place on November 3 to honour the birthday of the legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor, after whom the renowned Prithvi Theatre is named. Constructed in 1978, this theatre was a labour of love by Bollywood actor Shashi Kapoor and his wife, Jennifer Kapoor. Their vision was to create a place that would fulfill Prithviraj Kapoor's dream of a permanent home for his theater company.
More information on the festival will follow in due course.
