Happy birthday to Shatrughun Sinha.
The viewers of
bollywood films wish happy birthday to successful actor Shatrughun Sinha on 9th
December, 2011. He was considered to be one of the leading angry young man of
the 70s after Big B.
Although he
started his career as anti-hero in films like Khilouna, where the central
characters were played by Jeetender and Sanjeev Kumar, within short time, he
showed his metal as an action star and ruled bollywood films for another 20
years. He also did well in the film Ek Nari Ek Brahmchari. He was successful in
films like Gaye Aur Gauri opposite Jaya Bacchan, Bombay To Goa, etc., in the
early 70s.
Shatrughun Sinha
learned acting Pune Film and Television Institute and his lessons went a long
way in his illustrious career. He had seen other giants in the Pune Film and
Television Institute like Hritik Ghatak, Subhash Ghai, etc. Viewers remember
his combination with Reena Roy as both played romantic pair in numerous films.
Kalicharan was one of the most popular films amongst them.
Whenever
Shatrughun Sinha faced Amitabh Bacchan both the actors tried to supersede the
other. The viewers enjoyed the rift between the two actors in contemporary
films. Both did a fantastic job in Ramesh Sippy’s film Shaan. Shatrughun
Sinha’s charishma in the role of a shooter was as elegant as Big B’s angry
young image in killing Goga Kapoor’s men in the film.
The other films
where Big and Shotgun (Shatrughun Sinha was called by this name) met included
Kala Patthar, Dostana, Naseeb, to mention a few. In Kala Patthar there was an
encounter scene with Amitabh Bacchan, which was as popular as the encounter of
Vinod Khanna with Amitabh Bacchan in Amar Akbar Anthony. In all those films
both the actors complimented each other. Even in comedy films like Naram Garam,
Shotgun showed his comedy elements and was appreciated.
Shatrughun Sinha
was given an off-beat role by Goutam Ghosh in Bengali film Antarjali Jatra
where he played the role of a cremator. He played a marathon innings in films
which include commercial success like Goutam Govinda, Dillagi, etc. Even in
political career he achieved a lot by working for the people under the BJP
banner. He was member of Rajya Sabha and won elections also under BJP ticket.
He is called the stylish Bihari Babu by his admirers. He must be a proud father
after his daughter Sonakshi Sinha had stormed bollywood with her superhit debut
opposite Salman Khan in the film Dabanng released this year.
Both Shatrughun Sinha and Vinod Khanna are considered the greatest competitors with Big B and had succeeded in portraying the role of action heroes in India. Their height, voice and stature helped a lot in portraying those characters. The viewers expect Shotgun to continue the great work in films in future.
