ABOUT Kulbhushan Kharbanda

Veteran Actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda: A Career Spanning Decades Kulbhushan Kharbanda, born October 21, 1944, is a prominent figure in Indian cinema, known for his impactful roles in both Hindi and Punjabi films. His career, spanning over five decades, showcases a remarkable versatility, transitioning from parallel cinema to mainstream Bollywood. Kharbanda's journey began with the Delhi-based theatre group 'Yatrik' in the 1960s, laying the foundation for his powerful screen presence. His film debut in Sai Paranjpye's Jadu Ka Shankh (1974) marked the commencement of a long and illustrious career. He gained widespread recognition for his memorable portrayal of the iconic antagonist Shakaal in the 1980 blockbuster Shaan. His contributions extend beyond mainstream cinema. Kharbanda's collaborations with acclaimed directors like Mahesh Bhatt (Arth, 1982; Ek Chadar Maili Si, 1986; Waaris, 1988) and Deepa Mehta (Elements trilogy: Fire, Earth, and Water) solidified his status as a versatile and respected actor. He seamlessly transitioned between diverse roles, showcasing his ability to portray both villains and nuanced character roles with equal conviction. After a hiatus, Kharbanda returned to the stage in Kolkata, performing in Atmakatha, directed by Vinay Sharma, demonstrating his enduring passion for theatre. While specific details on recent film projects are unavailable, his prolific career and enduring contribution to Indian cinema remain significant.
