Mohammed Yusuf Khan, better known as Dilip Kumar is considered to be one of the greatest actors in Indian cinema. His film, Jugnu was his first major box- office hit. Several hits followed: Mela, Andaz, Deedar, Mughal-e-Azam and Kranti. He conferred with India’s second highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2015. He received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, Indian cinema’s highest honour, in 1994. He was married to Saira Banu. He died at the age of 98.
The project aims to restore the buildings and convert Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor's homes into museums, promoting heritage tourism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the next two years.
