Jeetendra (b. 1942)

Major 70s Hindi star with Rajesh Khanna in an era dominated by love stories preceding Bachchan. Original name Ravi Kapoor. Introduced in Shantaram’s late 50s/60s musicals, his early work was in mid-budget Bproductions, often dancing in white, patentleather shoes. He made a serious attempt to change his image by sticking on a moustache in 70s ​Gulzar films (e.g. Kinara and Khushboo) and playing a male Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music adaptation, Parichay. Later work pioneered a more financially efficient but formally impoverished industrial cinema in Madras, e.g. films by [[K. Raghavendra Rao]] (Himmatwala, Jaani Dost), ​K. Bapaiah (Mawaali, Maqsad) and ​Dasari Narayana Rao (Justice Choudhury, Prem Tapasya).
