Rajesh Khanna

@@ +1 @@
+'''Rajesh Khanna, (b. 1942)'''
+
+
+Originally Jatin Khanna. The first of the late
+60s/early 70s Hindi superstars with a big
+impact on the industry, later equalled only by
+Bachchan. His late 60s roles were often lowbudget
+genre films (e.g. Yash Chopra’s thriller
+Ittefaq). Broke through in two popular love
+stories made and released simultaneously:
+Aradhana and Do Raaste, which shaped his
+film persona, later elaborated by Shakti
+Samanta. His image is traceable to Gulshan
+Nanda’s novelettes generated in the context of
+the industrialisation of 60s Hindi publishing
+pioneered by Mitra Prakashan’s best-selling
+journal, Manohar Kahaniyan, in Allahabad,
+and its numerous imitations aiming serials at
+less-educated readers. In the 70s, he often
+played a social orphan (Hathi Mere Saathi)
+deprived of maternal love and stricken by
+some existential malaise (Amar Prem) driving
+him to depravity (Dushman, Kati Patang)
+from which the heroine and foster-mother
+rescue him, usually by naming him as their
+protector. Often partnered by Sharmila
+Tagore or Mumtaz in his best-known films. His
+image of the innocent in a big bad world
+extended also to famous roles as a man who
+laughs to cover up some internal tragedy
+(Anand, Andaz). This approach influenced
+film-makers like Yash Chopra, but it was
+quickly overtaken in the mid-70s by Bachchan,
+making Khanna’s style an anachronism in the
+80s. Stood for election as a Congress (I)
+candidate in Delhi, almost defeating the rightwing
+BJP leader, L.K. Advani. In a by-election
+he defeated the film star Shatrughan Sinha
+(who now represented the BJP) and became an
+MP.
