When #Mr #India released in #1987, Amrish Puri’s Mogambo, with his signature line ‘Mogambo khush hua’ quickly became the most popular villain after Sholay’s Gabbar. In the years since Mogambo has been studied by many film historians and Amrish Puri’s performance has often been termed as the reason why the character turned out to be such a success. But, not many know that Amrish Puri wasn’t the first choice for this role. In his autobiography The Act of Life, Puri had shared that over 60 per cent of the film had already been shot by director Shekhar Kapur when he was roped in to play the role of the villainous invader.
Puri had shared that he was “a bit apprehensive” as more than half the film had already been shot. “I thought to myself, ‘inhe ab jaakar meri yaad aayi? (Now they remember me?)'” In an earlier interview with IANS, Anupam Kher had shared that he was the one who had shot for the film but was replaced halfway through.
