In the forthcoming episode of Zee Bollywood’s “Classic Legends Season 5”, Akhtar will go down memory lane with Amrish Puri’s achievements and remarkable contribution to Hindi cinema.<\/p>\n
“Amrish Puri will be remembered as a great actor. But people like me, who have known him personally, will remember him as a great actor and a great human being.
\n“Amrish Puri was a mix of both. Noted filmmaker Steven Spielberg had once mentioned that he had seen many films in his lifetime, but he has never seen such a good villain,” Akhtar said while paying tribute to the actor.<\/p>\n
Whether as the homesick NRI in Aditya Chopra’s “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge”, the benevolent feudal landlord in “Viraasat”, Sunny Deol’s terminally ill, idealistic father in “Ghaatak” or Amisha Patel’s anti-India father in “Gadar: Ek Prem Katha”, Amrish Puri created a gallery of characters in his decades long journey in Bollywood He was not only seen in Hindi films but also Kannada, Marathi, Hollywood, Punjabi, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
