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.
“Main Wohi Hoon” (1966) is a B grade movie produced by M M Production. A Shamsheer was the director of this movie. The star cast of the movie included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, Murad, Johnny Walker, I. S. Johar, Madan Puri, Roopesh Kumar etc.

It is popularly believed (and faithfully reproduced by most sites copying from each other) that “Rustam Sohrab” (1963) was the last movie of Sajjad Hussain as a music director. Fortunately for music lovers, Sajjad Hussain was active even later and he kept getting assignments till 1970s, even if they were few and far between.

“Shabistaan” (1951) was an Arabian Nights kind of fantasy movie. Such kind of movie were then regarded as B grade movie. “Stunt” movie was another name for such movies because these movies had lots of fights in them. In fact, Shyam, the hero of this movie, died on the stage of this movie while performing a stunt. He was riding a horse when he fell from the horse and died. To this date, this is regarded as one of the major disasters on the sets of Hindi movies.

“Anokhi Ada” to me was a movie of 1970s starring Jeetendra and Vinod Khanna, but I came to know that there was another movie of this name in 1948 too. Why did these oldtimers choose the same name as a new movie and then had some boring music in that- this is what I used to think in 1970s.
