While
actors
like
Vinod
Khanna
and
Shatrughan
Sinha,
who
made
their
debut
after
him
are
a
passe,
Dharmendra
(fondly
referred
to
as
'Garam
Dharam')
is
still
a
name
to
reckon
with
in
the
industry.
In
fact,
the
year
2007
has
seen
the
ageless
'Punjab
Da
Puttar',
getting
serious
once
again,
and
conquering
the
box-office
with
two
consecutive
successes,
Life
in
a
Metro
and
Apne.
But
that
is
not
all,
as
September
28
will
see
him
in
another
good
project,
Johnny
Gaddar,
directed
by
the
highly
talented
Sriram
Raghavan
(of
Ek
Hasina
Thi
fame).
It
may
come
as
a
surprise
to
many,
especially
those
who
are
not
familiar
with
the
golden
hearted
'Yamla
Jat',
that
Dharmendra
consented
to
work
in
the
movie
because
of
his
association
with
the
one-of-a
kind
singer,
the
late
Mukesh.
Just
to
make
it
simpler,
Johnny
Gaddar
features
the
legendary
singer,
Mukesh's
(late
Raj
Kapoor's
voice)
grandson,
Neil
Mukesh,
who
makes
his
debut
here.
And
as
soon
as
'Garam
Dharam'
(or
should
we
say,
'Naram
Dharam')
heard
about
Neil's
lineage,
he
invited
the
handsome
youngster
for
a
dinner
and
said
'Yes',
and
spoke
to
him
about
his
association
with
Mukesh.
For
those
who
are
still
not
getting
it,
two
of
late
Mukesh's
best
songs
'Aaya
Hai
Mujhe
Phir
Yaad
Woh
Zaalim'
and
'Baharon
Ne
Mera
Chaman
Loot
Kar'
feature
Dharmendra
in
the
1966
hit
Devar.
