Popularly know as GABBAR SINGH. He got this name from the film SHOLAY.
The role was in fact pencilled for Danny Denzogpa, but then he was too busy with other movies to commit on this.
Then it moved on to Sanjeev Kumar who refused to take it up, as it was too much of a compromise for him to be a villain when he was doing well as a hero.
And finally the movie was signed by the newcomer on September 20, 1973, which also happened to be the day when his wife delivered a baby boy.
Gabbar Singh still lingers in the minds of the movie watchers, and succeeds in igniting the same fright it did three decades back!
Famous dialogues:
- Pachas Pachas Kos Door Gaon Me Jab Koi Bachcha Rota Hai To Maa Kehati Hai, So Ja Bete; Varna Gabbar Aajayega'.
- Kitney aadmi the re?
- Bahut yaarana lagta hai.
- Jo dar gaya samjho mar gaya.
- Abe oh samba.
- Tera kya hoga kaaliya.
And who can forget that raucous laughter that filled the cinema halls with trepidation!
