6th October is the birthdate a very handsome talented actor who could have fallen in the category of “SUPERSTAR” too, if he had not just given it all up to follow his spiritual Guru just as his career was on the upswing. He was an actor who could dance without making the audience feel that he was uncomfortable, I have seen him match steps with HEMA MALINI & Kalpana Iyer in the 1980s. He was introduced into Hindi films in Sunil Dutt’s ‘Man Ka Meet’ in a supporting role in 1968. He played supporting characters to Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Dharmendra, Manoj Kumar etc. in his initial films. He didn’t flinch from playing characters that had grey or negative traits- he was good in action sequences too.
His first leading role was in Gulzar’s directorial debut ‘Mere Apne’. He experienced stardom & success in the late 1970s and was seen playing solo protagonist in films like ‘Inkaar’, ‘Shaque’ (to name just two, there are many). He held his own in multi-starrers too; that is also a very long list. I would like to mention that he was repeated by al the filmmakers of that time- Feroz Khan, Sunil Dutt, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, Raj Khosla etc.
We are thinking of Vinod Khanna on what would have been his 80th birthday.

There are quite a few good to very good actors who were eclipsed when the Amitabh Bachchan wave hit Bollywood in the 70s. Some tried doing a few solo movies before doing multi star cast movies with AB as the main character. So much so that they didn’t mind being overshadowed by the Bachchan. Who can forget Amar Akbar Anthony (1977)? Manmohan Desai made a movie with the story being about 3 brothers. But people thought that Bachchan’s Anthony was the prominent character. And inspite of being a diehard Bachchan fan I love to see the scenes of AMAR in the movie. Specially the scene in the jail where he questions Robert’s men about who shot the police commissioner (played by Kamal Kapoor). There are other parts in the movie featuring Vinod Khanna (who played Amar) that stand out.
