MUMBAI:(PTI) Veteran actor-filmmaker Amol Palekar says he has always lived life on his own terms and that reflected in his choice of regular guy roles in Hindi cinema at a time when larger-than-life heroes were popular.
Palekar, who turned 80 this month, is looking back at his life and artistic pursuits in a new memoir, which is titled “Aiwaz” in Marathi and “Viewfinder” in English. Both the books are published by Westland — “Aiwaz” in partnership with Madhushree Publications.
In the book, he is also reflecting on his unlikely journey in movies that saw him emerge as the star of the middle-of-the-road cinema of frequent collaborators Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee in hits such as “Rajnigandha”, “Chhoti Si Baat”, “Chitchor”, “Gol Maal”, “Naram Garam” and others in 70s and 80s.
