Here we go:
- He has essayed major parts in films about a royal court singer, a blind singer and a street singer. He has also given playback for these three roles. Who is he?
- This script writer didn’t write this film where Amitabh Bachchan played a small, yet powerful role. But strangely, Amitabh’s character was named after his father. Who is the script writer and which is the film I am referring to?
- What is common to the actors: Jackie Shroff, Motilal, Uttam Kumar?
- These were two hits – one starring Amitabh Bachchan and the other with Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Strangely, their on screen characters had the same name. Which are these films? (Bonus question: The same onscreen name has been used by today’s immensely successful actor in four of his films- one of which was a great musical murder mystery- a hit which launched his career. Who is this actor?)
- Daughter of a politician, she was an unlikely Hindi film actress. She looked stunning in sarees on television, when few knew that she had hurriedly wrapped the garment around a pair of jeans! Her son made his debut in one of last year’s hit films. Who is she?
- Remember the famous Mausi scene in Sholay where Amitabh carries his friend’s proposal for Hema Malini to Leela Mishra. What was the inspiration behind that scene?
- She dared to sing a ghazal which was originally rendered by Mohd Rafi. She is very active on the internet, has written biographies on the net of Salma Agha and Zeenat Aman and even has a search engine named after her. Who is she?
- Amitabh Bachchan often faces flak for his association with Amar Singh. But did you know that he has even played a character called Amar Singh? Well, not exactly, but I slyly dropped the middle name of this onscreen character! Which film?
- He acted in two films of the same name, one year apart. In the earlier version, he played the harmonium in the heroine’s house. And in the later version, he played the main lead. Interestingly he also gave playback for both versions of the film. And worse, even sang for the Tamil version of this film with awful pronunciation almost sounding obscene. Who is the actor and which film are we talking about?
- What is common to the actresses: Lara Dutta, Aishwarya Rai, Rekha’s step mother and Rama Dasgupta?
Both answers are acceptable though
