Jackie Shroff honors Amrish Puri on 21st death anniversary

Jackie Shroff shared a quiet tribute to the late actor Amrish Puri. He posted a black-and-white photo on his social media with a classic film song playing. Shroff kept his caption simple, just writing the veteran star's name with a respectful emoji.

Amrish Puri appeared in hundreds of films, securing his status as an iconic figure. He was celebrated for his acting range, though his villainous parts brought him particular fame. His memorable antagonist role as Mogambo in the film Mr. India is considered legendary. He also displayed comedy skills in a movie alongside Kamal Haasan.

Internationally, audiences recognized him as the sinister Mola Ram from a major Hollywood adventure franchise. His career included notable parts in many beloved Indian films across decades. Puri battled a rare form of blood cancer, which required serious medical intervention. He passed away after the illness led to a coma.

His final screen project was an action film featuring Rahul Singh and Mithun Chakraborty. That movie followed a man entangled in a politically driven liquor trade. The story blended fiction with real elements based on the writer's experiences. It involved a struggle with corrupt forces and a doomed political effort.
