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