Amjad Khan had registered his name in the list of Bollywood’s biggest villains by playing the character of ‘Gabbar Singh’ in the 1975 cult film ‘Sholay’.

New Delhi. Who does not know ‘Gabbar’ of ‘Sholay’. Even today, when this film is mentioned, the character of ‘Gabbar’ comes to mind first. Even years after the release of the film, the dialogues of ‘Gabbar’ are on people’s lips. This character was just like that. Amjad Khan, with his excellent performance, brought this character alive on the big screen in such a way that it is impossible to forget it. Ever since he appeared in the role of ‘Gabbar Singh’, he had been established as a villain in the hearts and minds of the audience. The audience wanted to see him only in the role of a villain.
Very few people know about Amjad Khan, who became immortal on the big screen as ‘Gabbar’, that the biggest villain of the century actually wanted to become a hero. Amjad Khan inherited acting from his father. His father Jayant was a well-known name in the world of films and he also wanted to launch his son as a hero. But due to not getting any producer-director for Amjad Khan’s debut film, he thought of producing the film himself.
Amjad Khan was about to debut as a hero with the film ‘Patthar Ke Sanam’. His father Jayant would have produced this film while his brother would have been the director of this film, but his fate had something else in store. This film could never be made due to some reason. Had this film been made, Amjad Khan would not have been a villain today but would have been the top hero of Bollywood.
Thought of a different name to become a hero-
The actor’s screen name was also thought of to launch him as a hero in films. By becoming a hero, he would have gained popularity in the name of Neeraj. However, this did not happen and he became ‘Gabbar’ in ‘Sholay’. Please tell, ‘Sholay’ was not Amjad Khan’s debut film. He made his debut as a child artist in the 1951 film ‘Nazneen’. He wanted to earn a name in the cinema world from the age of just 11 years.
Died of heart attack
