Pran Krishan Sikand

In 1973, he recommended Amitabh Bachchan to Prakash Mehra for the character of Vijay in Zanjeer. Pran’s role as Sher Khan,
with his red wig, beard and Pathani style was well appreciated. Pran acted with Bachcahn in about 14 films, the notable ones being
Zanjeer, Don (1978), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Dostana (1980), Naseeb (1981) and Sharaabi (1984).
Pran had a six-decade long career in Hindi cinema and is one of the most celebrated actors of the industry. His acting is said
to have been effective enough to desist people from naming their children ‘Pran’ due to his negative roles, while the industry had
started calling him ‘Pran Sahab’.
