Amrish Puri
| 22.06.1932 * | |
| 11.01.2005 † |
Amrish Puri started his film career in the early 70s. He made his most important appearances in films directed by Shyam Benegal starting with the role of the landlord in Nishant. He then shifted to mainstream movies and in 1987 he played the dictator Mogambo in Shekhar Kapur's Mr. India - a role, which made him India's villain No. 1. Not only in Bollywood he was the most sought after actor for negative roles. Telugu directors also cast the charismatic Amrish Puri, his most famous Telugu movie being Kondaveeti Donga with Chiranjeevi and Vijayashanti. Amrish Puri appeared in movies of all great Bollywood directors, but continued to act in important films of parallel cinema directed by Govind Nihalani and, of course his early mentor Shyam Benegal. Amrish Puri passed away in 2005.
