Bollywood would not be Bollywood without the villains, who give a tough time to our macho heroes. Indian cinema has seen larger-than-life villains like Gabbar Singh, Mogambo, Dr. Dang, and Shaakaal, whom we love to hate! Maharani from Sadak, played by Sadashiv Amrapurkar, was one of the dreadful villains in the Hindi film industry. On Sadashiv Amrapurkar's 69th birthday which was on May 11, a show, Lights Camera and Kissey reminisced his award-winning performance as the villain, while revealing the story behind the character, Maharani.
The brainchild behind the character of Maharani was none other than the hero of the movie – Sanjay Dutt. Even though Sadashiv Amrapurkar lived the character on screen, Sanjay Dutt initiated the thought and inspired to create this character.
Mahesh Bhatt wanted to cast Sanjay Dutt in the lead role and approached him with the script. On hearing the script, Dutt recalled a real-life experience that had etched an inedible mark on his mind. Whilst his visit to one of the Mumbai slums, he had encountered a man who dressed as a woman and would boss around everyone in the slums.
