Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Pran
not
only
worked
in
the
1973
blockbuster
Zanjeer,
but
also
gave
many
hits
like
Don,
Amar
Akbar
Anthony,
Kaalia
and
Sharaabi.
Praising
veteran
actor
Pran,
Big
B
wrote
on
his
blog:
"A
gentleman
to
the
core,
who
had
great
respect
for
his
colleagues,
and
an
immense
attitude
to
professional
behaviour.
Never
late
on
the
sets,
despite
the
heavy
make
up
that
he
invariably
had
to
indulge
in.
Never
ever
interfered
with
the
work
in
progress,
and
surprisingly
there
were
many
occasions
when
he
never
saw
the
films
he
worked
in."
"There
was
never
any
fuss
about
him.
I
never
saw
or
heard
him
raise
his
voice
towards
anyone,
or
disagree
with
what
he
had
to
do
in
front
of
the
camera.
He
came
well
prepared,
delivered
and
quietly
went
home," he
added.
He
wishes
Pran
good
health,
as
the
veteran
actor
was
not
keeping
well
lately.
"My
joy
at
him
getting
this
award
is
boundless.
A
most
deserving
recognition.
I
wish
him
good
health
and
happiness
always," he
wrote.
Pran
began
his
career
as
a
hero
in
1940
with
Yamala
Jat,
but
became
a
big
name
after
playing
negative
roles
in
Milan,
Madhumati,
Ziddi
and
Kashmir
Ki
Kali.
Later
in
his
career,
he
ventured
into
character
roles
and
wowed
everyone
as
Malang
Chacha
in
Upkar
and
Khan
friend
in
Zanjeer.
