Amitabh Bachchan is the only star left in the film industry who has remained a megastar in the film industry since the 70s. Not that there weren’t other stars too. Shatrughan Sinha, Vinod Khanna, Sunil Dutt, Raj Babbar, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, there are many such stars who used to compete with Amitabh in that era, but no one has been able to match him till now. One of them was an actor who was constantly competing with Amitabh Bachchan and the other had become a star but his 3 mistakes were holding him back.
01
We are talking about Vinod Khanna. Along with acting in films, Vinod also entered the world of film production and politics. He was the most expensive actor of his time. She was also called a style and fashion icon. In the 1970s, he maintained his dominance on the big screen along with Amitabh Bachchan. But 3 professional mistakes defeated Vinod Khanna.
02
Vinod Khanna entered Bollywood in 1968 with Sunil Dutt starrer ‘Mann Ka Meet’. And he quickly established himself as a versatile actor. He was highly appreciated for playing the role of an angry young man in the film ‘Mere Apne’.
03
He had negative roles in films like ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’, ‘Purab Aur Paschim’, ‘Sachcha Jhootha’ and ‘Aan Milo Sajna’. Due to playing negative roles, his image had emerged as a villain. Playing a negative role was wrong for him.
04
Despite Vinod Khanna’s initial successes, he took many wrong steps in his career, and his momentum ended. His second mistake was making a success of pairing with Amitabh Bachchan. He couldn’t do many wonders on the lead solo.
05
Vinod Khanna worked in films like ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Parvarish’, Khoon Pasina, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. The films were big, but all the credit went to Amitabh Bachchan. Because of this, he started being offered only supporting roles.
06
Vinod Khanna’s third biggest mistake was that he chose the path of Adhatyam. Guru Osho followed Rajneesh at the height of his career in the year 1982. He stayed away from the film industry for 5 years which was detrimental to him. He had to fight to gain fame as before.
07
Despite all the failures, Vinod Khanna made an indelible contribution to the Indian film industry. His acting also inspires the generations to come. Vinod Khanna also worked in the second innings. He was seen in the role of Salman Khan’s father in the first two films of the ‘Dabangg’ franchise.
