Cinemaazi remembers Jagdeep on his birth anniversary
29 Mar 1939
“Hamara naam Soorma Bhopali aisei nahi hai”... Jagdeep is most memorable for his role as Soorma Bhopali in the blockbuster Sholay (1975), flaunting paan-stained grin and mischievous eyes, as he mouthed this Salim-Javed penned dialogue. Enjoying a prolific career in films, he acted in approximately 400 films over the decades. He is considered the last of the comic icons in the tradition of seniors Johnny Walker and Mehmood.
