Bollywood’s ever-young actor Anil Kapoor recently launched the biography on the life of the late actor Sanjeev Kumar. The book was launched on the birth anniversary of the legendary actor. Kapoor along with Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and Uday Jariwala launched the biography book titled “Sanjeev Kumar- The actor we all loved”.
Once the Oscar-Winning filmmaker Satyajit Ray decided to make his first Hindi film- he wanted to cast two people- Sir. Richard Attenborough and Sanjeev Kumar. They then went on to make a film titled ‘The Chess players’ set in 19th century Lucknow. The power of Sanjeev Kumar and Saeed Jaffrey’s performance and Ray’s direction made the film become India’s official entry to the 51st Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and Uday Jariwala have co-authored this very important biography of historical significance in the annals of Indian cinema. The book traverses his life from 1938 to 1985 and promises to be a thorough entertainer.
Sanjeev Kumar is the godfather of versatility in Bollywood. From his mature roles in films like Mausam and Aandhi (banned by the Indian Government during the emergency) to his comic timing in Angoor or the angst of a person with disabilities in Koshish—he was truly a thinking man’s actor. His expressive face, inflexions and pauses, and natural ease for lip-syncing, of it made him the complete package.
