Episode 27: Remembering Kader Khan - with Sukanya Verma
Manage episode 279315010 series 2795250
Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!
Kader Khan was an extraordinary writer and actor.
He was also one of the primary architects of, what I like to call, the Bachchan aura. He was instrumental in the careers of two other big stars as well - Jeetendra and Govinda.
Sukanya Verma, film critic, quiz-maker, and a true blue Hindi film buff, joins us as we look back on Kader Khan's legacy.
We talked about Kader Khan's difficult childhood, his course down the path of theatre, his early days in films, and his role in the towering career of Amitabh Bachchan.
We also covered Khan's mastery over language, which was instrumental in being able to write outstanding dialogue for filmmakers with contrasting styles, like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra - makers of some of Bachchan's biggest films.
Sukanya also touched on her favorite Kader Khan performances, Khan's subconscious imprint on the comedy of actors like Pankaj Tripathi, and why she is a big fan of Patal Bhairavi (1985) and Taqdeerwala (1995).
Finally, I shared some cool trivia (sent in by a listener) about a dark film that Kader Khan had planned on writing and directing, with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead.
This month, it will be two years since we lost Kader Khan.
Join us, as we pay a small tribute, in our own way, to, as Sukanya likes to call him, "my favorite Khan."
Here's Sukanya's (in memoriam) piece from last year: http://www.sukanyaverma.com/2019/01/i-loved-kader-khan-i-spoke-kader-khan/
