Vinod was even pitched as Amitabh's contender for the top spot after he fuelled successes on his own steam like Raj Sippy's Inkaar (1977), a slick kidnap drama. The larkiness inherent in these films ensured a high entertainment quotient. The two heroes delivered five huge successes together - Hera Pheri (1976), Khoon Pasina (1977), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) Parvarish (1977) and Muqaddar Ka Sikander (1978). He formedВ a thumping box-office team with Amitabh. The mid-1970s was a heady phase for Vinod. Vinod was still the toughie in his films but the roles were increasingly lined with romantic hues, like 1974's Imtihaan (where heВ successfully reprised the role played by Sidney Poiter in To Sir With Love) and Haath Ki Safaai.

Gulzar's songless Achanak (1973) saw Vinod retain the audience's sympathy despite playing a man who murders his adulterous wife. HeВ began his transition to hero roles in right earnest. The audience enjoyed the sparring between Vinod and Shatrughan Sinha as rival street gang leaders.В Vinod capably blended toughness with sensitivity ( his character was jilted by his girlfriend). Debutant director Gulzar provided the much-needed breakthrough, giving Vinod the role of a soul-troubled street desperado in his Mere Apne (1971). Not content with being a sought-after model of male nastiness, Vinod yearned for more. Sporting a huge black tilak, a crumpled dhoti and bloodshot eyes, Vinod matched he-man Dharmendra shoulder to shoulder.В A section of the audience was convinced that second leads Laxmi Chhaya and Vinod Khanna had stolen the thunder in this horses-and-bullets megahit. He had to pair with starlets like Bindu ( Nateeja) and Bharati ( Hum Tum Aur Woh) or be the unwanted hypotenuse in many a triangular tango ( Aan Milo Sajna, Ek Haseena Do Deewane) where all he was required to do was sneer and exude charisma.ДЄs a blackguard, Vinod was most memorable playing the dacoit in Mera Gaon Mera Desh (1971). But few producers had the confidence to let a major film ride on his brawny shoulders. Designed as a launch pad for Sunil's brother, Som Dutt, Man Ka Meet, ironically, made stars of its moon-faced heroine Leena Chandarvarkar and its tall and hunky anti-hero, Vinod Khanna.ДЄs a villain whose handsome face hid ugly designs and deeds, Vinod was lapped up by the audience. After all, a few years earlier, he had already worked the rare alchemy that let him manage the difficult crossover from 'villain' to 'hero.'ДЄ student of Mumbai's elite Sydenham college, heВ found acting more exciting than his family business and signed on Sunil Dutt's home production Man Ka Meet (1968). People should have learnt to expect the unexpected from Vinod Khanna. Nonchalantly, he determinedly embarked on a quest for spiritual fulfillment. HeВ shocked filmdom and the public by announcing his retirement. After a long string of hits in 1977-1978, Vinod was Amitabh Bachchan's direct competitor in the superstar sweepstakes. His latest album 'Aakarshan' was launched on at Anand, Gujarat.Vinod Khanna is possibly the only male star in the Hindi film industry who forsook fame at the height of success. His 31st album Alankar was released at VadFest on 18 January 2015 at Vadodara. He has also worked with Pankaj on albums and Live Shows. He has released 30 albums (last one, 'Aashirwad', launched in Australia November 2013). He, like his brother Pankaj, is well known for singing Ghazals. He has sung for more than 300 films вЂ“ Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and many others. Manhar has worked with many composers of the film world and has lent his voice to many Bollywood heroes. It proved to be turning point in his career. When Mukesh heard the song he said that Udhas has sung the song perfectly and there was no need to record the song in his voice. The song was 'aap se hum ko bichchade huye ek zamana beet gaya' for 1969 film Vishwas. So it was decided to dub song in the voice of Udhas and later on Mukesh would sing over it. Once singer Mukesh was not immediately available. Udhas used to hang around Kalyanji Anandji to help them in song recording. His brother-in-law, who was making Gujarati film in Mumbai, introduced him to Music Director Kalyanji Anandji. He was interested in music since childhood. He completed his mechanical engineering training in Gujarat and moved to Mumbai in the late 1960s to look for a job. Manhar Udhas is the eldest son of Keshubhai Udhas and Jituben Udhas, and the elder brother of singers Pankaj Udhas and Nirmal Udhas. Manhar Udhas is a Hindi and Gujarati language singer and Bollywood playback singer.
