His
deep
baritone
was
enough
to
send
a
shiver
down
your
spine
every
time
he
played
villain
on
the
big
screen.
We
are
speaking
about
Amrish
Puri
who
would
have
turned
87
today,
had
he
been
alive!
Not
just
in
negative
roles,
the
actor
even
left
a
mark
as
a
loving
'bua'ji
on
the
big
screen.
Amrish
Puri's
elder
brothers
Madan
and
Chaman
Puri
were
already
established
actors
playing
villainous
roles
in
Indian
cinema.
After
failing
his
first
screen
test,
Amrish
found
a
job
with
the
Employees'
State
Insurance
Corporation,
Ministry
Of
Labour
and
Employment.
At
the
same
time,
he
even
dabbled
with
theatre.
Soon,
he
became
a
well-known
stage
actor
and
even
bagged
Sangeet
Natak
Akademi
Award
in
1979.
At
the
age
of
40,
he
joined
films
and
then,
there
was
no
looking
back
for
him.
In
his
career,
the
actor
went
on
to
play
iconic
characters
like
Mogambo
(Mr
India),
Bhujang
(Tridev),
Balwant
Rai
(Ghayal)
amongst
others.

Puri's
