Kabir, Pran is very much alive and very weak too.
Last heard was he is bed ridden as his health is not keeping well.

He along with Dev Anand have done many movie together and are some of the oldest celebrities alive in the Bollywood circuit. Pran being a character actor has played roles of hero villain and character roles too. Mostly in his span of 25 odd years of Bollywood carrier he has been a villain in the black and white movies then moved to character roles there on. As he might have felt the age also needs him to play roles accordingly but some how he got roles which were demanding him to play roles which were not common but extra ordinary and also the movie was focused on him.
