Flashback with Ranjeet
As Indian cinema enters its 100th year certain names automatically conjure up your mind. These are personalities who have left an indelible impact on the minds of cine-goers with their work. Actor Ranjeet belongs to this exclusive club. Ever since he hit the silver screen enacting the vicious Kundan in Sharmilee he captured the attention of the audience and filmmakers alike. In a freewheeling chat with Rajesh Subramanian the evergreen baddie reminiscences the gold old days.
Hailing from an orthodox family in Amritsar, Gopal Bedi cleared the National Defence Academy entrance exam. “I had no intention of joining NDA. I didn’t tell my family and went along with my friends for a lark”, reveals the actor sitting near the poolside of his swanky bungalow at Juhu. Within months young Gopal, who was passionate about sports, returned home. A self confessed Dev Anand fan he saw Guide twenty times and can mimic the evergreen star. Though films were the last thing on Gopal’s mind destiny had other plans for him. It was at a party that he met the UK based Ranbir Singh (known as Ronny) who was close to many Indian film stars. This encounter changed the course of Gopal's life. Ronny offered Gopal the lead role in his film Zindagi Ki Rahen in which he was to play a cleaner boy. The film got shelved but Gopal landed in the showbiz capital in 1968. “I told my parents I am going to Mumbai for sightseeing”, he smiles before adding, “Since I moved about with Ronny I had the privilege of interacting with stars. I was extremely fortunate to spend my first night in Mumbai at Chetan Anand's abode, second with Sunil Dutt and Nargis and third with the great showman Raj Kapoor”.
Since Gopal lived in Ronny’s office at Juhu he got to interact with actors like Sunil Dutt with whom he rode horses at Juhu beach and became close friends. “I used to regularly play badminton with Feroz Khan and Sanjay Khan”, he beams. It was around this time that Ronny had a disagreement with his financiers and bid goodbye. Gopal, who was left alone, found no work coming his way and decided to return home. A relative had assured him a job in Germany. The same day he got a call from Mohan Sehgal’s office for a role in Sawan Bhadon. “I was in the elevator of Ajanta Arts when I took the decision of rejecting the Germany offer and doing Sawan Bhadon. My instinct said I can go to Germany anytime but this chance may never come again”, narrates Ranjeet. Next Sunil Dutt offered him Reshma Aur Shera. “It was Duttsaab who suggested that I change my name. I asked him which alphabet and he said R. Instantly I said Ranjeet and he agreed saying it was good. That’s how Gopal Bedi became Ranjeet”, he discloses. During the shooting of Reshma Aur Shera at Rajasthan he got to interact with Rakhee, who recommended his name to Subodh Mukherjee for the role of a molester in Sharmilee. Sharmilee clicked at the box-office and Ranjeet never looked back. His performance had a chilling effect on screen and won rave reviews. “I proudly invited my parents for the premiere. They were so scandalized seeing their son trying to rape the heroine that they left the cinema hall mid way”, he guffaws. In filmdom nothing succeeds like success and filmmakers love to repeat a success formula. Thus Ranjeet ended up playing a molester in several films and it became a must ingredient. “Producers used to insist for a rape sequence in the plot because it worked”, he chuckles. Playing baddie of various shades in Hulchul, Dost Aur Dushman, Raampur Ka Lakshman, Bhai Ho To Aisa, Victoria No. 203, Jheel Ke Us Paar, Khote Sikkay, Aap Ki Kasam, Haath Ki Safai, Dharmatma, Laila Majnu, Amar Akbar Anthony, Vishwanath, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Lahu Ke Do Rang, Kartavya, Aap Ke Deewane and Suhaag he firmly established himself as one of Hindi cinemas prominent baddie.
Interestingly, Ranjeet was also offered Gabbar Singh’s role in Sholay after Danny Denzongpa refused it but it didn’t worked out. “I have no regrets. I have never approached any producer for work. God has been very kind towards me”, he admits. “I have been a part of several blockbusters of the 70’s and 80’s. There was a time I had nearly eighty films on hand. I was the first actor to work on shift basis. I used to shuttle from one set to another and work round the clock. I have been very professional and never harassed any of my producers. I have maintained a very cordially relation with my co actors”. Ranjeet, who is addressed as Goli by his friends, was known for his geniality in filmdom and his plush bungalow was a favourite party hub in the halcyon days. “There was a lot of camaraderie among actors those days. Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman, Dharmendra, Moushumi Chaterjee, Sanjeev Kumar, Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Rekha would regularly drop in to party”, he recounts. In the same breath he mentions about producer - director and friend Prakash Mehra with whom he shared a special rapport. “I was part of all his films since Haath Ki Safai. It was like family with Prakashji. We used to discuss everything under the sun. He was a wonderful human being and a cool headed director”. He reveals that his first scene in Namak Halaal was the famous interview scene with Amitabh Bachchan. “I remember reaching the studio directly from an outdoor shoot. Amitabh had difficulty memorizing the line so the shoot was cancelled. The very next day he was all set. And what a scene it turned to be”. He further expounds that the production fellow had arranged an ill fitting wig for him. “On the second day of shoot when i expressed my discontent to Prakashji he instantly said lets do without it. If you notice closely in the entire film only in the interview scene I sport a wig“, he grins.
One day in the late 80s realization dawned on him that he was trapped in the dreariness of work. ''I became so busy that I couldn't even attend my brother's wedding. Even on the day when my father died I didn’t cancel my shoot. I went to Hyderabad and flew back after fishing my scenes. I used cry in the makeup room between shots. I didn’t want anyone to say that the shoot got cancelled because of my dad,'' he relates. Around this phase he wrote the script of Kiske Liye, which was later changed to Kaarnaama. He also produced Gajab Tamasha with Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead in 1992. The film failed at the box-office and he blames himself for the debacle. On one hand if Ranjeet dabbled with television with Baat Ban Jaye and Jugni Chali Jallandhar then on the other he did theatre with the hilarious plays Papa Don’t Preach and Hanky Panky.
On the home front Ranjeet is a happily married man. His son Chiranjeev is an accomplished formula one race driver while his daughter Divyanka is an award winning fashion designer. In a sharp contrast to his mean screen image Ranjeet in real life is an adorable person. He is a strict vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks only socially, loves plants, a very good painter and surprisingly never watches any films. “I do my work sincerely. It is for my audience to decide whether I have done justice”, he justifies. But there is one aspect about the man that you simply can’t ignore. His signature style - shirt unbuttoned till the waist, impish smile and the roving eyes. No one can pull that off as Ranjeet does. As we wind up our chat and bid him goodbye he offers a warm hand shake. And as always he manages to loom charismatically large.

A K HANGAL ~ Grand Old Man of Hindi Cinema
~ Rajesh Subramanian and Niilesh A Raje
A K Hangal’s endearing performances always struck a chord with the audience
Flashback
Hailing from Sailkot, Pakistan Avtar Krishna Hangal, born in a Kashmiri pandit family, discontinued studies after matriculation and joined a tailoring firm. “I opted to be a tailor primarily because I didn’t want to serve the British and also because I was fond of good dressing“, he divulges enthusiastically and elaborates, “I stitched suits for the maharaja of Patiala, The nawab of Pataudi and C F Andrews. I earned a princely salary of Rs 400 per month”. Hangal Saheb discloses that as a youngster he would accompany his father to watch mythological plays. Later he joined a troupe and essayed pivotal roles of Krishna and Chandragupta. “I won a lot appreciation and this gave me great confidence. I also started enjoying acting”, he smiles.
Stage to Silver Screen
Once in Mumbai he enrolled himself with IPTA (Indian People’s Theatre Academy) and acted and directed several plays including many of Vijay Tendulkar’s works. Though he loved acting he confesses that he never wanted to act in films. However, it was filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee who spotted the spark in him. “Hrishida had seen one of my plays and was impressed with my natural style of acting. He cast me in Guddi as Jaya Badhuri’s father. But it was for Basu Bhattacharya’s Teesri Kasam that I faced the camera for first time”, he brief’s. In an illustrious career spanning more than 200 films he has appeared in films like Abhimaan, Anubhav, Deewar, Sholay, Aandhi, Namak Haraam, Aap Ki Kasam, Shagirdh, Mere Apne, Parichay, Daag, Joshila, Heera Panna, Jawani Diwani, Garam Hawa, Bawarchi, Kora Kagaz, Chit Chor, Satyam shivam Sundaram, Swarg Narak, Avtaar, Arjun, Lagaan and Paheli which made him a household name and gave recognition.The Sholay Saga
As our conversation veers towards one of his most celebrated act of Rahim Chacha or Imaam Saheb in Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay, Hangal Saheb’s eyes brighten up. “When we were filming Sholay we never thought the film would go on to become such a sensation”, the nonagenarian admits “People still remember the dialogue, "Itna sannata kyon hai, bhai". They address me as Rahim Chacha more than thirty five years after the films release“. He elucidates that his theatre experience came very handy in enacting the blind man and he employed the psycho-technique to get the feeling of blindness. He may be up in age but his memory is still sharp, ”I was simultaneously shooting for Dev Anand’s Ishq Ishq Ishq at Kathmandu. Dev Saheb had arranged a special helicopter for me. I used to finish my work for Sholay at Bangalore and fly back to Nepal”. According to his son, Vijay Hangal, while watching the death sequence of Sachin in Sholay all eyes automatically focus on Hangal Saheb. “All the stars are present in the scene but Hangal Saheb grabs the viewer’s attention”, he cites.
Memorable Moments
He is also equally ecstatic when he talks about Inder Mohan, the naughty old man in Shaukeen. Along with Ashok Kumar and Utpal Dutt he enthralled the audience in this flirtatious adventure. “Basu Chatterjee wanted to cast Madan Puri instead of me but the producer Debika Mitra was hell bent on casting me. It was a wonderful film and we all had a gala time”, he fondly recollects. He also recounts a funny incident after the release of Namak Haraam, when a police man stopped him one day and requested him to help them form a police union. “The cop thought I was a real union leader”, he chuckles,
Humility Personified
A highly disciplined and humble man who has utmost respect for his profession Hangal Saheb never approached anyone for work. “I have been honest to my profession and have never troubled any filmmaker. All my co actors respected me a lot and I feel proud about it”, says the actor who played Sardar Patel in the British television series Lord Mountbatten - The Last Viceroy.
At 97, with failing health, he is confined to his apartment. However his optimism and zealous attitude are his biggest hallmark. He lives with his only son and the two lead a very simple and contended life. He was conferred the Padmabhushan in 2006. A K Hangal has also penned his autobiography titled ‘Life and Times of A K Hangal‘. His motto and advice to all is ‘in our lifetime let’s make the best of it’.
The World of Prem Chopra
- Niilesh A Raje
Prem Chopra holds the distinction of having acted in over 400 films in a career spanning 50 years and still continues working with the same benchmark of commitment. He came from Shimla after graduating from a vernacular medium. While pursuing his education he observed that students who graduated from English medium were far more confident and prepared to face the world. To eliminate the complex he decided to create his own identity by participating in college dramatics, debates and elocution competitions. Today, his one-liner dialogues have proved to be his weapon which many try to ape.
Passion for Acting
He was bitten by the acting bug during his college days when he got actively involved in theatre. No one from his family belonged to showbiz or were remotely connected to the film industry. His father Ranbirlal Chopra, a high ranking Government official on the contrary was of the opinion that his son should take up a government job and doing something with Indian Administrative Service. Prem Chopra, third amongst six siblings, was very clear what he wanted to achieve in his life. Finally towards the end of graduation while every one wanted him to take up a Government job he expressed his desire to go to Mumbai in the city of dream and dream merchants and chase his passion much against his father's wishes. In Mumbai he fortunately found employment in the circulation department of Times of India, where he worked for almost four years. Post office hours in the evening he would spend time in Gaylord Restaurant at Churchgate which was a favourite hub of the stars of those times. He craved for an opportunity to prove his talent as he realized that nothing can set you apart from the rest of the pack except talent because finally it's your ability that gets noticed. While he continued his daily trips to the studios in search of work a Punjabi producer Jagjit Sethi offered him a Punjabi film Chaudhary Karnail Singh. Chopra grabbed the opportunity and as luck would have it the film was a huge success and even won the national award. While Mehboob Khan, impressed with his good looks, wanted to launch him meanwhile Prem Chopra did a miniscule role with grey shades in Woh Kaun Thi. Next came Sikander E Azam, Shaheed, Teesri Manzil, Mera Saaya, Upkar, Latt Saheb, Around the World in Eighty Days, Jhuk Gaya Aasman, Kati Patang and Duniya which gave him a strong foothold.Dream Comes True
He admits that he was never finicky about the roles. All that mattered was the scope it would offer him to exhibit his histrionics. He was open for both positive as well as negative roles. He admits that God has been very kind to him and that he still continues to remain in this industry even after 5 decades. Most of his contemporaries have either died or hung their boots. He feels proud that the audience appreciates his work and the characters he enacts. “Before coming to Mumbai my father had clearly told me if you want to become an actor set your benchmarks absolutely high or be like Dilip Kumar”, reveals the veteran actor. His dream came true when he got the opportunity to work with his idol Dilip Kumar in Dastaan. “Dilipsaab was so focussed. For him every shot was an obsession even if it demanded innumerable retakes. What mattered is the final product which impressed the audience”, he explains.
Prem Naam Hai Mera
When Raj Kapoor approached Prem Chopra for Bobby he was quite skeptical because the only dialogue given to him was ‘Prem Naam hai mera . . . Prem Chopra’. Actor Premnath, on spotting the confused actor, urged him to take it up. Bobby became a sensational hit and the dialogue clicked. Overnight Prem Chopra became a star. “Even today this line from Bobby is equally popular be it in India or abroad. Everywhere I am invited the audience want to hear it from me. I don’t have to even rehearse as it contains my own name”, he winks. Prem Chopra has been a part of several popular films like Purab Aur Paschim, Prem Pujari, Daag, Do Anjane, Trishul, Kala Pathar, The Great Gambler, Dostana, Aas Paas, Kranti, Naseeb and Khudaar among others.
Gentleman in Real Life
A septuagenarian Prem Chopra loves to start his day early. He is very particular about his morning yoga. He loves to swim which keeps him fit. A voracious reader his love for books is evident from his neatly arranged bookshelf. He keeps a tab on the new arrivals and updates his collection regularly. “I firmly believe that reading is essential for success and one's growth”, he suggests. He is equally good at writing poetry and shayari. He loves playing and watching cricket which keeps him interested and involved.
Book Review : Everybody Wants A Hit

There was a time when movies used to be running in cinema halls to packed capacity followed by Golden Jubilee or Silver Jubilee celebrations. But, in today’s age of social media where attention span is very less one hardly gets to hear of movies running for several weeks followed by any jubilee celebrations. So, “Is there a secret recipe for a Bollywood hit?” or it’s just a mix and match one does that projects these thespians in a light that appeals the masses.
In the book titled, “Everybody Wants A Hit” published by Jaico Books the author Derek Bose shares with the readers 10 Mantras of Success in Bollywood Cinema. The ten mantras covered in this book touch on all aspects including, “Content is King”, “Honesty is the Best Policy”, "Nothing Sells Like Sex”, “What’s in a Name” and much more.
Author, Derek Bose is a senior well-known author and journalist who specializes in Bollywood and other aspects of Indian Film Industry. An alumnus of St Columba's, New Delhi, he has held senior editorial positions with India's premier news organizations, the Press Trust of India and the Indian Express.
In one of the chapter titled “What’s in a Name?” the author shares his observation citing examples that names do make a lot of difference in show business regardless of the fact what Shakespeare had to say about roses. Heroines known with their better names include Sulochana (Ruby Mayers), Meena Kumari (Mehzabeen Begum), Rekha (Bhanurekha Ganesan) to name a few. The author’s observation also suggests that the use of the letter “K” is supposed to be “spiritually most potent” whereas “V” spells not for victory but doom unless it vibrates well. However, there have been people like V. Shantaram, Vinod Khanna, Vivek Oberoi and Vyjanthimala Bali amongst the exception. A name means a lot in Hindi Cinema. What might appear to be a casual allusion could actually serve to be the identity of an actor or could mark a new beginning for the director.
Where the chapter “Honesty Is The Best Policy” is concerned the author has given the example of Amitabh Bachchan. Even after he was voted as the Star of the Millennium and had a wax image to his name at Madame Tussauds in London he continued being his humble self, never questioned the judgment of his directors. Whatever role he played Bachchan did it with supreme confidence and complete conviction.
The readers get profited with relevant examples the author has supplemented against each of the 10 mantras covered in his book. To make one’s journey in Bollywood a rewarding experience the author says that success in Bollywood is not a matter of chance or luck but involves methodical approach coupled with analytical reasoning. If one adheres to this the journey would indeed prove to benchmark of success.
K L Saigal, The Man The Melody
~ Rajesh Subramanian
Endowed with a sonorous and eloquent voice Kundan Lal Saigal entranced music lovers with his inimitable style of singing in the 30’s and 40’s. He attained a cult status after singing in films like Street Singer, Bhakt Surdas, Zindagi, Chandidas, Tansen, Devdas, President, Dhusman, Meri Bahen and Shahjehan. KL Saigal - The Definitive Biography by Pran Neville throws lights on the illustrious and intriguing life of the iconic artist. The book also features a comprehensive compilation of Saigal’s songs, complete filmography, translations of his Urdu couplets, information about his mentors and associates at the New Theatres in Calcutta, his heroines, and even the reviews published in Filmindia.
Saigal was a simple man with average features. But the dark eroticism of his brooding looks and his resonant voice were his greatest hallmark. It was Nitin Bose’s Chandidas released in 1934 with music by R C Boral that set him on the road to superstardom. Thereafter there was no stopping him till his demise. The biography draws the reader’s attention to the early history of the Hindi cinema as it chronicles the rise and fall of the film studio system of Calcutta. A chapter entitled ‘Saigal’s Mentors and Associates’ forms the core of Neville’s book. Accompanied by rare photographs of stalwarts like B N Sircar, Debaki Bose and P. C. Barua it documents their passionate commitment to cinema.
Saigal was born in Jammu where his father Amar Chand was a tehsildar and his mother Kesar Bai was a religious lady. Young Saigal used to accompany his mother to religious functions where bhajan, kirtan and shabad were sung in traditional styles. This formed an informal training ground to the budding singer. A school dropout, Saigal started earning money as a railway timekeeper. Later, he worked as a typewriter salesman for the Remington Typewriter Company, which allowed him to tour several parts of India. His sourjoun brought him to Lahore where he befriended Meharchand Jain, who started the Assam Soap Factory in Shillong. Meharchand and Kundan moved to Calcutta and the former encouraged him to pursue his talent. Saigal belted out immortal melodies like Balam aayo baso, Main kya janu kya jadoo hai, Sapta suran, Ek bangle bane nyara, Soja rajkumari, Do naina matware, Jab dil hi toota gaya, Ae qatib-e-taqdeer and Babul mora that cast a spell on the listeners and made him a singing superstar. Saigal has been the most emulated but never equaled crooner who has been a great source of inspiration for all the other eminent singers who graced hindi films from Lata Mangeshkar to Kishore Kumar. He was a true phenomenon whose work has left an indelible mark in the minds of listeners. Composer Naushad aptly penned a poetic tribute to the icon – “Mere dil ko yakin hai ye mukammal, Naghmon ki kasam aaj bhi zinda hai wo Saigal, Saigal ko faramosh koi kar nahi sakta, Wo aisa amar hai ke kabhi mar nahi sakta”.

Ramesh Deo ~ His Journey from Kolhapur to Mumbai
~ Niilesh A Raje
- Niilesh A Raje
Even at the ripe age of 87 octogenarian Ramesh Deo keeps himself busy and occupied. He hates to sit idle. He leads us to his personal terrace garden and shows us a host of rare plants and bonsai then moves briskly to the kitchen to fetch some upma before we embark on our tete-a-tete. In a career spanning six decades the multifaceted Deo has acted in more than 285 Hindi Films, 190 Marathi Films, 30 Marathi dramas and over 200 stage shows. Apart from being an accomplished actor he has also emerged as a successful producer and director with a host of Feature films, Television Serials and over 250 Ad Films. The Deo family is one classic example where in the whole clan has been part of the Film Fraternity for several decades. Ramesh Deo Production (P) Ltd, established in 1971 is a company promoted by Ramesh Deo and wife Seema Deo along with sons Ajinkya and Abhinay Deo, who are actively involved in the production of Advertising Films, Feature Films, Television Serials, Music Videos, Documentaries and Short Films.
The Odyssey
Not even in his wildest dream he thought he would be a part of a theatre group or the film industry. On the contrary Ramesh Deo had made up his mind to join the Police force. He responded to an advertisement and cleared the aptitude test. For the next round of interview and physical examination he was to report to Mumbai on a Monday. Ramesh Deo started his journey from his hometown Kolhapur and on his way to Mumbai took halt at Pune to meet his brother. Being a Sunday and also the season of horse racing his brother invited him to the race course. It was here that his brother introduced him to veteran Marathi actor and director Rajabhau Paranjpe.
While at the race course on two occasions Rajabhau asked Ramesh Deo to pick the horse which accordingly to him was the best with probability of winning. Ramesh Deo was novice and was not even aware of the terms used in horse racing. He selected two horses at random and both these horses eventually emerged out to be winners and Rajabhau Paranjpe won almost twice the money he charged for direction then. He was very happy and felt Ramesh Deo bought him beginner’s luck in his life. Interestingly, Paranjpe, who was working on his new project, impressed with Ramesh Deo offered him the lead villain’s role. And surprisingly Ramesh Deo accepted it. This way the journey to Mumbai and a career as Sub Inspector was derailed in Pune. But it opened a new chapter in his life taking him to the studios.
Transition to Hindi Cinema
Ramesh Deo says his tryst with Hindi cinema began on an interesting note. “In the 60s myself and Seema had gone to a remote village called Radhanagri along with popular artists like Raja Gosavi, Raja Paranjpe, Padma Chavan, Sharad Talwalkar to stage a play. On the way we halted for a tea break. When tea was served in dirty aluminium glasses Sharad Talwalkar demanded angrily why it was not given in glass tumblers which were kept on a shelf. The boy who served tea replied those were for VIPs who came occasionally. When Sharad told him we were all big film stars. The boy gave a disgusting look and pointing at pictures of Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand, which were displayed in the shop, shot back ‘These are film stars”. That incident literally shook Deo, who realised making it in Hindi cinema was very essential. On reaching Bombay he approached Tarachand Barjatya and fortunately he bagged Rajshri Films Aarti in 1962. Next he did Mohabbat Isko Kehte Hain and close on the heels came Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand, Rajshri Films Jeevan Mrityu, Gulzar’s Mere Apne, Koshish, L V Prasad’s Khilona and N N Sippy’s Fakira.
The Voice of Experience
Awards and Achievements
From 1965 till date Deo has portrayed a wide variety of roles be it hero, villain, father, son or servant. He is amongst the first directors from India to have won the Best Director’s trophy at Film Festivals held in Iran, Iraq and China. He also had the opportunity to work with the leading stars including the Raj Kapoor clan, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Dilip Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Shatrugan Sinha, Jeetendra to name a few. He has been conferred with many State and National Awards for his contribution to Indian cinema.Ramesh Deo believes in maintaining a cordial relationship with whomsoever he interacts. He warns, “Ego can ruin a person”. It is one thing that will only bring disaster in your life. Life is a learning process and its great fun to imbibe new things. As we take leave the phone rings, a visitor is already waiting and wife Seema wants him go through a letter but Ramesh Deo is unperturbed. ‘The show must go on whether at home or studio ‘, he reflects with wide grin.
