Actor Shadaab Khan, son of the late actor Amjad Khan, said he is working on a biography on 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,” Khan said.
In his career spanning nearly two decades, Amjad worked in more than 130 films, but is best remembered for his iconic portrayal of villain Gabbar in 1975 cult film Sholay, which is 40 years old on Saturday.
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.
With a trend of biopics made in the film industry in the recent past, Khan said he wasn’t sure if he would allow anyone to make a biopic on his father.
When asked about it, he said: “No one has approached me yet for the biopic. Whenever it happens we will see.”
Khan, who made his acting debut with Rani Mukherjee 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.
