  • Sadashiv Amrapurkar was a versatile Indian actor best known for playing villainous roles.

  • Sadashiv Amrapurkar had played first-class cricket in the Ranji trophy. He was an excellent batsman and a leg spinner. But when he participated in a one-act play competition in his college, he found his calling, and it turned his direction from cricket to acting and directing plays.
  • At the age of 21, he started doing theatre and did more than 50 plays (acting and directing) and minor roles in Marathi cinema till 1979. Producer Govind Nihalani spotted Sadashiv during a Marathi play titled ‘Hands up’ in 1981 and soon placed him in his movie ‘Ardh Satya’ to play Rama Shetty (the negative lead). The movie was a success and Sadashiv was critically acclaimed for this movie. Sadashiv Amrapurkar in Ardh Satya

  • Even while he was a successful Bollywood actor, he never stopped doing theatre. When he was asked to choose between films and theatre, he said that theatre was his breath. He even shared a story from his past where his father, who was not happy with his son’s passion for acting, locked him in the house to stop him from acting in a play.

  • Amrapurkar had gone missing from the industry for quite some time and was last seen on the big screen in a cameo in Dibakar Banerjee film ‘Bombay Talkies’ in 2012, which was made to celebrate the centenary year of Indian cinema. When asked about his hiatus from Bollywood, he said,

    “Why should I? I’ve never said that I’m retired or don’t want to do films anymore. Just that the roles that come to me are often repetitive in nature and I’m brave enough to refuse them. Earlier, when I started my career at the age of 32, I wanted to do films to get recognized. Once I established myself as an actor, it was about making money for family. But now things are different. As you grow older, your priorities change.”

  • Think Global Foundation in Ahmednagar conceptualized an award titled ‘Late Sadashiv Amarapurkar Award’ in memory of the actor.
  • His demise was condoled by many influential people from all walks of life. Even the then Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his condolences to the late actor.
