Ramesh, you?
Yes, it’s me.
You did all this?
Yes. I did it.
This is your ticket. Your death.
Life might be in God’s hand.
But death is in my hand.
He is Prem. His name is Prem.
Prem Chopra.
My name is Prem.
Prem Chopra.
Born on 23rd September 1935.
After India’s partition his family shifted to Shimla from Lahore.
Where he was raised.
In Shimla Prem Chopra worked in many dramas.
Be it Hindi or English.
His father wanted him to be an IAS officer..
..or a doctor when he grows up.
But he was interested in acting.
His father told him to at least finish graduation and find a job.
After that he can go to Mumbai.
All of you know that arms and weapons..
..are not allowed in such meetings.
I am sorry, friends. As Sakiya was shot..
..we will have to frisk everyone.
Bodyguards.
After coming to Mumbai, Prem Chopra got a job in..
..Times Of India’s subscription department.
And gradually he started struggling.
He went to many studios.
But nothing was materializing.
He was traveling in a local train.
A stranger told him, “You want to act?”
Prem Chopra said yes.
That stranger took him to a Punjabi film producer.
He signed him as a hero.
Prem Chopra did a very good thing.
Even after getting films, he didn’t leave his job.
So that he earns his livelihood.
It means, you are avoiding work.
You can say that work is avoiding me.
Tell me. Is your diary avoiding you?
Or are you filling it with your interesting deeds?
As a hero his films were not working.
And then came a film ‘Shaheed’.
He played the role of Sukhdev.
But Prem Chopra had still not left his job.
Listen to me carefully before you die.
Your mother wanted to get you married to Sandhya.
And that is what I also wanted.
Because Sandhya’s twin sister was my hostage.
Sandhya also didn’t know that.
My plan to make you crazy.
At times he had to make an excuse that..
..“I am getting married. So I need a leave of 15 days.”
And during the leave he would shoot.
And then he would come back and say..
..“My marriage was called off.”
“There were many problems.”
“Now my parents are looking for another girl.”
You are so wealthy, Janki. That I am a pauper in front of you.
That infinite wealth for which a King would renounce his kingdom..
..and sages would give up penance.
No!
Sir, what are you doing?
I want to see your infinite wealth.
I want to savor your pleasurable youth.
It went on for a few days.
But after ‘Upkar’ Prem Chopra couldn’t lead a double life.
He had to resign from his job.
And Prem Chopra earned fame as a villain in films.
He even knows that today one of his sons will be killed.
But you won’t be killed.
He will be killed.
I beg of you. I fall at your feet.
Why do you fall at my feet, darling?
Embrace me. - Look, I am like your daughter.
You are like my daughter. But you aren’t one.
Be it any great actor opposite him..
..his dialogue delivery, his natural acting..
..and his comic timing make him a great artist.
Hey brother!
Hey! How are you?
What have you done to yourself in America?
American returned guy.
Don’t be foolish. You should take his name respectfully.
Don’t be mad.
This drama is being played so that people know..
..that Sakiya is a strict man.
Where did he come from? Where did he come from?
He came from Mumbai.
What else can people from Mumbai think?
There is a hero, a heroine and a villain.
You thought I am that villain.
It’s also well-known that when Raj Kapoor was making ‘Bobby’..
..he said, “Prem, you have a guest appearance.”
For which Prem Chopra wasn’t ready.
Because he had so many acquaintances in the film industry.
If he had given guest appearance in one film..
..he would have had to do guest appearance for all producers.
Who could refuse Raj Kapoor?
Raj just said, “You have to say one dialogue.”
“My name is Prem. Prem Chopra.”
Earlier he couldn’t understand this.
But later, his co-artist Premnath explained to him..
..that this dialogue is so powerful.
If this film is a hit, every child will know your name.
And that’s what happened.
This dialogue of ‘Bobby’ film was so popular..
..that even today this dialogue is an inseparable part of his identity.
My name is Prem.
Prem Chopra.
His paring with Rajesh Khanna was magical.
Both of them worked in almost 19 films.
Out of which 15 were box-office hit.
You know too much.
Seems like your intention is not good.
As time passed, Prem Chopra changed his acting style.
Do good. - And good will happen with you.
Congratulations. God heard me.
He gave me also a child.
Okay. So this was the child.
This orphan Raja.
You won’t do anything.
Now whatever is to be done, I will do it.
It means, I will come out and kill him.
He introduced comedy in his villain’s character.
Prem Chopra had a unique style of acting in films like..
..‘Raja Babu’ and David Dhawan..
..and Govinda’s comedy films.
What are you saying, sister-in-law?
Believing this guy, you doubt me? Me?
I spent all my life in brother’s service.
I toiled day and night to keep this family together.
You doubt me? No, brother. No.
Now I can’t take it anymore. - Enough, Lakhan. Enough.
For ‘Do Anjaane’ he won the best supporting actor award.
And he has been honored with many awards.
I am a good friend. Am I not bighearted?
Don’t I always splurge money?
You do that. You do that.
But…not on your friend.
If your friend has a beautiful wife.
I don’t know what happens to you when you are drunk.
Prem Chopra is one of the legends of Indian cinema.
He has worked not only as a hero.
But he has ruled the silver screen as a villain.
Listen to me carefully before you die.
Your mother wanted to get you married to Sandhya.
And that is what I also wanted.
Because Sandhya’s twin sister was my hostage.
Sandhya also didn’t know that.
My plan to make you crazy.
But you…you wanted to marry Seema.
So I also got rid of her.
Shatter Singhania’s throne.
And weave dreams of ruining him.
Now no celebration will take place in this house..
..until I don’t kill Singhania myself.
Don’t worry, Banke. I won’t let the table turn so easily.
If needed, we will perform the adoption formalities at his funeral.
Yes.
After that with his comic timing and acting..
..he breathed life into character roles too.
Prem Chopra’s name will always be taken proudly..
..in the history of Indian cinema.
