Problem 9 - Olympiad

The cult classic 'Sholay' (1975) is famous for many things, including its iconic villain Gabbar Singh. However, the original choice for the role of Gabbar, who even did a look test, was not Amjad Khan. Which seasoned actor was initially considered for the part?

Correct: A

Danny Denzongpa was the original choice for Gabbar Singh and even did a look test for the role. However, due to scheduling conflicts with Feroz Khan's film 'Dharmatma', he had to decline, and the role eventually went to Amjad Khan, who then created an indelible character in cinematic history.
