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.
