Actor Jackie Shroff honored the late legendary dancer-actor Bhagwan Dada on his 24th death anniversary by reminiscing about the iconic song ‘Shola Jo Bhadke’. Sharing a monochrome picture of Bhagwan Dada and a video of him performing the timeless number from the 1951 classic “Albela,” Jackie paid his respects on Instagram. Bhagwan Dada, renowned for the film Albela and songs like “Shola Jo Bhadke” and “O Beta Ji O Babuji Qismat Ki Hawa Kabhi Naram,” started his career in the silent era with the movie Criminal.
Jackie highlighted Bhagwan Dada’s contributions, mentioning his debut in the silent film era and his transition to producing and directing notable films like Albela and Bhagam Bhag. Bhagwan Dada, who faced financial struggles later in his career, passed away in 2002 due to a severe heart attack. Additionally, Jackie Shroff extended birthday wishes to Urmila Matondkar, commemorating her 52nd birthday by sharing a video montage featuring their song Tanha Tanha Yahan Pe Jeena from the 1995 hit movie Rangeela.
The iconic film Rangeela, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, recently celebrated its three-decade milestone in the Hindi film industry. The storyline revolves around Mili’s aspirations to become a renowned actress, entangled in a love triangle with Raj Kamal, a prominent actor, and Munna, her childhood friend. Featuring Aamir Khan and Jackie Shroff, Rangeela was re-released on the big screen to mark its enduring legacy.
