| 4 | Actor born in Phagwara, Punjab. Former |
| 5 | mechanic in a factory. Top Hindi star for three |
| 6 | decades. Created an influential image as a |
| 7 | markedly North Indian, even specifically |
| 8 | Punjabi macho man devoted to his mother and |
| 9 | committed to upholding the honour of the |
| 10 | family or of the village. Since the mid-70s, after |
| 11 | Bachchan’s impact, mainly in action films, |
| 12 | occasionally using complicated gadgetry but |
| 13 | always emphasising peasant simplicity and |
| 14 | beating the villain in physical combat. Since |
| 15 | mid-80s, notably in T. Rama Rao’s films but |
| 16 | also in other Madras-based Hindi productions, |
| 17 | his presence is used mainly to ensure a film’s |
| 18 | nationwide distribution in a respectable |
| 19 | economic category. His early 60s films, in sharp |
| 20 | contrast to his current post-Sholay image, |
| 21 | presented a secularised Hindustani version of |
| 22 | Bengali literary stereotypes, launched by |
| 23 | Bimal Roy’s Bandini and continued in |
| 24 | Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s 60s socials |
| 25 | (Anupama, Manjhli Didi, Satyakam) and in |
| 26 | Phani Majumdar’s Akashdeep. Early 70s work |
| 27 | transposed this image into tales of existential |
| 28 | suffering (Mohan Segal’s Raja Jani) and into |
| 29 | Mukherjee’s whimsical comedies (Guddi, |
| 30 | Chupke Chupke) made alongside Pramod |
| 31 | Chakravarty and Arjun Hingorani thrillers and |
| 32 | films like Vijay Anand’s Blackmail. Currently |
| 33 | promoting his son Sunny Deol (e.g. Sunny; |
| 34 | Ghayal, 1990); best-known performances of |
| 35 | the 90s in J.P. Dutta films. |
