Amjad Khan as Gabbar Singh in Sholay
If Bollywood was asked to define menace, the answer would most likely be Gabbar Singh.
Not everyone can send shivers down the spine with the seemingly innocuous query, 'Kitne aadmi the?' quite like the actor could. Not even Bachchan/Babban!
For the role, originally offered to Danny Denzongpa, who declined since his dates were already allotted for Feroz Khan's Dharmatma, the relatively raw Amjad Khan got into the ruthless skin of Ramgarh's most-feared dacoit with bursting intensity laced by undercurrents of perverse humour.
