Contrary to his big screen image of a villain, in real life Pran is a ‘gentleman’ with an immense attitude to ‘professional behaviour’, says Amitabh Bachchan and adds that he is happy that the 93-year-old has been named for the Dadasaheb Phalke award.
Besides working together in the 1973 blockbuster Zanjeer, Big B and Pran teamed up in Don, Amar Akbar Anthony, Kaalia and Sharaabi. Sharing his experience of working with Pran, Big B wrote on his blog: ‘A gentleman to the core, who had great respect for his colleagues, and an immense attitude to professional behaviour. Never late on the sets, despite the heavy make up that he invariably had to indulge in. Never ever interfered with the work in progress, and surprisingly there were many occasions when he never saw the films he worked in.’
‘There was never any fuss about him,’ recalls Bachchan.
