Amjad Khan birth anniversary special: When Gabbar Singh moved Satyajit Ray to tears
From Gabbar Singh to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, Amjad Khan's emotional performance in 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi' left even Satyajit Ray moved.
Veteran actor of Marathi and Hindi films and stage Viju Khote passed away early Monday morning, family sources said. He was 78 and is survived by his sister Shubha Khote, who is also an actor.
Renowned for comedy roles, Viju was famed for the evergreen lines: “Kitne Aadmi The?”, “Do, Sarkar” from the film Sholay in which he played dacoit Gabbar Singh’s bumbling sidekick Kaalia.
