He is travelling all over America being felicitated by Indians and Asians all over for completing fifty years as a leading man. He sees a sixteen year old girl following him everywhere. He meets her, talks to her. She is his fan. She wants to be in films. Dev finds an idea for a film, the relationship between Dev Anand, the star and his sixteen year old fan. He rushes back home, works on a script for days without end and is ready with the script for Main Solah Baras Ki...

He looks for a girl who should be an Indian brought up in America. He sees hundreds of them, selects one. She is from an orthodox family. They have never dreamed of their girl getting into Hindi films. Dev charms them into accepting his offer. Dev names the girl Sabrina and grooms her into the leading lady of his film...

He next looks for a new boy. He doesn’t want any of the ruling stars. He wants to create his own star. He meets many boys. He just sees the photograph of a model, Jas Arora, and says, “yes, that’s my man”. The craze Jas Arora already is as a model and as an actor in all those music videos proves how right Dev was...

For the first time ever Dev tries to make a film about himself. All through the film there are references to Dev’s lifestyle, his films, his heroines, his youth, his determination to do things just the way he wants, the places in the world he has seen, travelled, worked in. And, yet, he says he has revealed hardly anything. The rest will come in the memoirs he is planning to write but even that will not bring out the complete Dev, he says. Then when will we know the complete Dev? Or will we ever know the real Dev?

Dev wants to shoot in Atlanta, America. He finds some obstructions in his way. He changes his plans. He shoots in Scotland, a place where he gets all the cooperation he needs.

He records the songs. He starts recording a song at 11 am and doesn’t move out of the recording room, doesn’t eat anything, not even a cup of tea,not even a sip of water. His driver, Prem, drives him half way. Then Dev takes over. He drives home alone at 1 am. I follow him and keep wondering.

He shoots in Ladakh at a height of fourteen thousand feet. Every other member of the unit is scared, not Dev. The mountains anywhere in the world are his friends. He needs permission to shoot on “The Palace on Wheels”. It’s not normally given. Dev gets permission to shoot for eight hours. He needs to shoot inside the famous dargah at Ajmer. It is impossible, prohibited. He makes it happen.

Dev has completed Main Solah Baras Ki. He is already into two more films. He has just taken off for London, then America, then the rest of the world.

And all this at seventy-five, going on seventy-six. Who says the age of miracles has passed?
