Remembered today as the sinister villain with a face only a mother could love, Jeevan was one of the top bad guys of 60s, 70s, and 80s Bollywood cinema. However Jeevan has been an actor in Hindi cinema since the mid 1930s and his parts were not just confined to villains but mythological and comedy characters as well. In an film career that spanned over 50 years Jeevan worked in well over 300 movies and he acted with every actor and actress mentioned on this web site.

The list of classic films Jeevan acted in goes on and on. Some of his memorable villain roles were in, "Amar Akbar Anthony", "Deewaar", "Jony Mere Naam", "Kohinoor", and "Dharmatma". I am currently searching for information on the life of Jeevan. If anyone has any leads please e-mail me?

 

 

 

I have read of an ironic incident where Jeevan had played the Hindu saint Tukaram. His portrayal was so popular that 1000s of pictures of Jeevan in this role were printed and sold as religious articles. For years the image of saint Tukaram was worshipped with the face of Jeevan representing him.

Today the face of Jeevan is synonymous with the Villain of 70s Bollywood. He was a convincing actor whether playing bad guy or saint.
