Most of his Bollywood career comprises a set repertoire - the bald, unconscionable don, the brutal policeman, the lecherous, covetous zamindar, or the ruthless politician. But Amrish Puri always brought different shades to their rendition, and with his booming baritone, smouldering gaze, and imposing presence, he could stand his ground against stalwarts like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan.

Not Amrish Puri , but this actor was all set to play Mogambo in Mr. India

We loved Anil Kapoor in Mr. India, but did you know that he was not the first choice for the movie?

Declaring that he was making a sequel of Mr. India and not its remake, Boney Kapoor has categorically ruled out having the much hated character Mogambo in the new film. In the original, Amrish Puri played the famous villain. "Obviously, there won't be a Mogambo unless we are remaking the same film. As of now, we don't have plans of remaking the same film. We are working on a sequel. If there is a sequel, Mogambo won't be there, there would be a new villain," Kapoor said while unveiling the cover of People magazine featuring his wife and actress Sridevi.
