I received feelers from several members to start something like this, even though not at this scale. With these thoughts in mind, I have selected to look into the works of seven actors. These are: Amitabh Bachchan Dharmendra Jeetendra Manoj Kumar Raaj Kumar Rajendra Kumar Sunil Dutt Between them they made nealy 1200 movies.

It was “Farz” in 1967, an imitation of a James Bond movie, that gave him an opportunity to do dancing for some of the songs. The movie was a huge hit and he became a favorite with producers from South in which he played almost the same role over and over again. Surprisingly, most of these movies were huge hits. Jeetendra never won any awards for the films he was in. He acted in over 200 movies in a career spanning 45 years. Here is part 1 of his filmography … This post has been edited by swarapriya: Dec 24 2009, 10:06 PM Attached image(s) |
