NEW DELHI, Oct. 6 MEMBERS of noted film-maker V. Shantaram's family have announced the setting up of the Rajkamal Academy of Cinematic Excellence (RACE). The academy comprising veterans from the film business will work towards the development of the industry. The first initiative will be the setting up of the RACE National Awards. Kiran Shantaram, Chairman, RACE said, "The transition of V. Shantaram Awards to RACE Awards is to reinforce the vision of V. Shantaram of instituting an award for the industry by the industry.
