DEV ANANDH EXPIRED
Indian media said the country had lost an "evergreen hero".
Meanwhile, the actor's manager told that the cremation would take place in London later this week.
Anand was known as the Adonis of Indian cinema for his good looks and the ease with which he played romantic roles.
His films included Guide, Paying Guest and Jewel Thief. He continued to direct almost until his death, releasing his last film, Chargesheet, in September.
Anand, who produced and acted in dozens of films, became sick and had gone to London for a check-up.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the screen legend was "an embodiment of a life-long passion for acting and film-making."
"I join millions of his fans in mourning his death," he said.
