The auction intends to develop the Indian film memorabilia market, said Chief Mentor of deRivaz and Ives – Neville Tuli. Next up for the auction will be memorabilia and posters of the works of Satyajit Ray, Amitabh Bachchan @80, Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand @100 in the next few weeks. “There will be a special sale on feminine icons of Indian cinema.
