Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjeev Kumar shared screen space in films like, Sholay, Trishul, Silsila, Alaap, Faraar and many more. The cinematic duo is rememebered for their ‘cult scenes’ that have carved a special place in the hearts of Hindi movie audiences. Interestingly, Jaya Bachchan- then Jaya Bhaduri- with whom Sanjeev Kumar acted in some of the finest films of their career- like Anamika, Koshish and Nauker, was like a sister to Sanjeev Kumar.

Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta – one of India’s rare female biographers- and Uday Jariwala, Sanjeev Kumar’s nephew have come together to author this important book of historical significance in the annals of Indian cinema. The book traverses Sanjeev Kumar’s life from 1938 to 1985 and has been hailed as a thorough entertainer. This is Reeta’s third book. Before this, she has written ‘The Stranger In The Mirror’ and ‘Rescript Your Life.’
