Sanjeev Kumar by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta & Uday Jariwala in Paperback

In the 1970s, Hindi cinema was revolutionized, and Sanjeev Kumar emerged as one of the most powerful actors of that golden era. He had a natural talent that made him every director's go-to artist, bringing relief to the audience knowing that nothing could go wrong. Unlike the typical Bollywood hero, Kumar did not crave glamorous roles but instead focused on versatility. His range from mature roles in films like Mausam and Aandhi, to his impeccable comic timing in Angoor and portrayal of disabilities in Koshish, made him a thinking man's actor. Written by his nephew Uday Jariwala and Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta, this biography delves into Kumar's journey to becoming one of Bollywood's greatest actors, including personal essays by friends Gulzar and Randhir Kapoor, and co-stars Sharmila Tagore, Moushumi Chatterjee, Tanuja, and more.
