Son to write actor Amjad Khan's biography


A biography of late Bollywood veteran Amjad Khan, best known for his iconic portrayal of villain in cult classic 'Sholay', will be a reality soon.

The actor's son Shadaab Khan said he is working on a biography of his father.

"I am working on a book on my father and will start it next year. The book will have details about his professional and personal life. We want everyone to know about the great work he has done as an actor and how he was in real life," Shadaab said here.

In his career spanning nearly two decades, Amjad Khan has worked in over 130 films but is best remembered for his iconic portrayal of villain 'Gabbar' in 1975 movie 'Sholay', which completed 40 years the other day.

His other prominent films include 'Kalia', 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar', 'Yaarana', 'Barsaat Ki Ek Raat', 'Des Pardes', 'Nastik', 'Satte Pe Satta', 'Dada', 'Laawaris', 'Ganga Ki Saugandh', 'Hum Kisise Kam Nahin' and 'Naseeb' among others.

Shadaab, who made his acting debut with Rani Mukerji in "Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat", said he is proud of achievements of his father.

"He was a strong performer... he did landmark films. In real life he was a very down to earth person. He taught us to stay humble in life," he added.
