Best known as the famous villain Gabbar Singh in Sholay (1975). The role made him the most famous villain actor in Bollywood history. Since then he acted his dozens of films repeatedly playing the most evil and instantly memorable characters often opposite Amitabh Bachchan.
Amjad Khan was born in Hyderabad in 1940 to legendary actor Jayant. He was the brother of fellow actor Imtiaz Khan.Around 1972, he married Sheila Khan, and the following year, she gave birth to their first child, Shadaab Khan, who acted in a few films only. He also had a daughter Ahlam Khan and son Seemaab Khan.
Before Amjad came to films he was a theatre actor. His first film was as a child artist at the age of 17 in the film "Ab Dilli Dur Nahin" (1957),a narrative of the socio-political post- Independence India of great substance.A journey that began from here reached its zenith in Sholay in (1976).Though Khan was to be launched as a hero in his home production, 'Patthar Ke Sanam', in 1965, the film did not proceed beyond its inception. He had assisted K. Asif in the film "Love and God" in the late 1960s and had also made a brief appearance in the film which would have been his official adult film debut. But the film was left incomplete after K. Asif's death in 1971 and it ended up releasing in 1986.
His first major break was "Hindustan Ki Kasam" (1973). The film was made on the theme of Indo-Pak war of 1971.
But the role that immmortalised him forever was that of Gabbar Singh of "Sholay".Sholay happened in 1975 and catapulted him to the status of a star.In 1975 he was offered the role of a dacoit Gabbar Singh for the film "Sholay" by Salim who was one of the film's writers. For his preparation for the role Amjad read "Abhishapth Chambal", a book on Chambal dacoits written by Taroon Kumar Bhaduri (actress Jaya Bhaduri's father). Amjad shot to stardom with the movie. His portrayal of Gabbar Singh is considered by many to be the first depiction of pure evil on the screen in Indian Cinema; a totally evil character who doesn't make excuses for its evil.
"Arre O' Samba, Kitne Aadmi The"— thus goes the most popular line of Bollywood ever mouthed. Generations of children that have grown ever since "Sholay" (1976) was made, have imbibed this and other dialogues of the GP Sippy classic as staple learning. A large chunk of credit for popularisation of "Sholay" goes to Amjad Khan Alias Gabbar Singh. So powerful was the screen impact of Amjad that the character of Gabbar Singh has become synonymous with vice—the epitome of a genre of evil characterised by rustic looks, hoarse voice, and cold-blooded demeanour.
The movie "Sholay" is one of the all time blockbuster movies in India and one of the highest earners, and although the movie had a cast of superstars including Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra the most memorable character was considered to be that of Gabbar Singh. Amjad Khan later appeared in advertisements as Gabbar Singh endorsing Brittania biscuits, and it was the first incidence of a villain being used to sell a popular product.
After the success of "Sholay" Amjad Khan continued to play villain roles in many subsequent Hindi films in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s — superseding, in terms of popularity and demand, the earlier Indian actor, Ajit — portraying more sophisticated and urbane criminal bosses, mastermind of bank robberies, murders and conspiracies to seize power.
Due to the Sholay impact; he got the opportunity to act opposite Amitabh Bachchan in many movies in the heydays of the latter."Parvarish", "Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin", "Aakhri Goli", are some of his movies of 1977. Similarly, in 1978 came such big successes as "Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan", "Muqadar Ka Sikander", "Kasme Vaade", "Heeralal Pannalal","Khoon Ki Pukaar", etc.
In 1979, Amjad Khan played, Vikram, a notorious smuggler that drives Amitabh Bachchan (Natwarlal) to unscrupulous ways. "Hum Tere Aashique Hain","Chambal Ki Kasam", "Suhaag","Bombay 405 Miles","Kaatil", "Kalia"," Teesri Aankh", the list is very long. To sum it up there was hardly a block-buster in the late seventies and early eighties that didn't have Amjad Khan as the chief negative protagonist. He often acted as villain opposite Amitabh Bachchan as the hero.
He was an acclaimed Indian star and filmmaker. The superstar has worked in over 130 movies in his career spanning nearly twenty years. He enjoyed popularity for his villain roles in Hindi flicks.

Amjad Khan along with Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra Deol and Sanjeev Kumar at the sets of Sholay (1975). The role of Gabbar, the dreaded Chambal dacoit, remains Amjad Khan's most powerful and memorable performance.
In 1975 he was offered the role of a dacoit Gabbar Singh for the film Sholay (literally meaning flames) by Salim who was one of the film's writers. For his preparation for the role Amjad read Abhishapth Chambal, a book on Chambal dacoits written by Taroon Kumar Bhaduri (actress Jaya Bhaduri's father). Amjad shot to stardom with the movie. His portrayal of Gabbar Singh is considered by many to be the first depiction of pure evil on the screen in Indian Cinema; a totally evil character who doesn't make excuses for its evil. His mannerisms and dialogues have become an integral part of Bollywood lexicon and had since spawned numerous parodies and spoofs. Sholay went on to become a blockbuster, and, as of yet, it is the highest grossing movie in India. Although the movie boasted an ensemble cast of superstars including Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan, he stole the thunder with his unorthodox and eerie dialogue delivery that was perfectly apposite to the total lack of empathy his character was supposed to convey. Even after thirty five years people fondly remember his dialogues and mannerisms. He later appeared in advertisements as Gabbar Singh endorsing Britannia Glucose Biscuits (Popularly knowns as "Gabbar Ki Asli Pasand"), and it was the first incidence of a villain being used to sell a popular product.
After the success of Sholay Khan continued to play villain roles in many subsequent Hindi films in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s - superseding, in terms of popularity and demand, the earlier Indian actor, Ajit - portraying more sophisticated and urbane criminal bosses, mastermind of bank robberies, murders and conspiracies to seize power.
