Sardars on the Silverscreen

Amitabh Bachchan

Big B is one actor who is always known to experiment with his looks in film after film. So when he was required to play a 'Sardar' in Anil Sharma's Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo, Big B left no stone unturned in getting into the skin of the character. The turban, the beard all looked just perfect on Big B as he played the role Major General Amarjeet Singh with elan. What's more he even did the bhangra with as much as ease as a true Punjabi would do. However, this was not the first time that Big B played a sardar. Few years back Amitabh even played a sardar in the forgettable flick Kohraam alongside Nana Patekar. That portrayal however is best forgotten
