MUMBAI: Actor Jackie Shroff on Monday paid a heartfelt tribute to the late veteran star Amrish Puri on his 21st death anniversary, remembering the legendary actor for his towering screen presence, unmatched voice and the indelible impact he left on Indian cinema.
Jackie took to his Instagram stories section, where he shared a monochrome picture of Amrish Puri. For the background score, he added the track “Hum Na Samjhe The” by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam from the 1993 film “Gardish”.
For the caption, Jackie did not write much. He simply wrote: “Amrish Puri ji (folded hands emoji) (22 June 1932-12 Jan 2005)”.
Amrish Puri acted in more than 450 films, and established himself as one of the greatest and iconic actors in Indian cinema. He was known for his acting versatility but his villainous roles earned him more recognition.
