Shadaab Khan

Shadaab Khan, son of legendary actor Amjad Khan, believes no Indian film has yet matched the cultural legacy of Sholay — not even recent blockbuster Dhurandhar. Shadaab also revealed that he had auditioned for a “very solid role” in Dhurandhar but eventually lost out because he did not fit the physicality required for the character.

Nearly five decades after its release, Sholay continues to remain one of Indian cinema’s most iconic films. But according to actor-writer Shadaab Khan, son of legendary actor Amjad Khan, the film was not instantly embraced by audiences when it first hit theatres in 1975. Shadaab recalled a fascinating anecdote once narrated to him by late actor Tom Alter about how dramatically opinions around Sholay changed within just a few months of its release.

Amjad Khan's son Shadaab Khan revealed that Bollywood owed his father Rs 1.27 crore at the time of his death in 1992. Despite an offer from the underworld to recover the money, the family refused. Shadaab said, "We never got that money. And it was back in the day when it was a huge amount."
