From Gabbar Singh to Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, Amjad Khan's emotional performance in 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi' left even Satyajit Ray moved.
The caption of the picture does a spin on a popular dialogue of Khan as Gabbar Singh in the 1975 superhit, "Sholay".
"The way Sholay was written, and the detail in which each and every character of the movie was etched, all the characters of Sholay are still fresh in people's mind -- be it Gabbar's dialogue or Basanti's non-stop babbling. Even a character like Sambha, who in the entire movie spoke only two words, is till today fresh in the memory of people," said Sippy.
He was 78 and is survived by his sister Shubha Khote.
