Guess this Bollywood Villian: Whenever a scary villain is discussed in Bollywood, names like Gabbar Singh and Mugambo automatically come to mind. But do you know that there was a villain who was more dangerous and eccentric than these two? Today we are talking about a 27-year-old film, whose villain people used to tremble with fear-
When it comes to Bollywood’s villain, Gabbar, Mugambo or Kancha China are often named, but the villain ‘Jagira’ of the 1998 film China Gate was the most different and more scary. This character was played by actor Mukesh Tiwari, and this role was so effective that people were scared to see him. (PC-Emdb)
Mukesh Tiwari stopped bathing for about 50 days during the shooting to mix his character completely. He did not shave and did not cut hair so that his look looks dirty, scary and exactly like ‘Jagira’. (PC-Emdb)
Due to not bathing continuously, his body started to smell so strong that eagles, crows and vultures used to hover on the shooting set. Mukesh Tiwari used to use perfume to avoid this problem, so that the people around would not get upset and the character would not be reduced. (PC-Emdb)
Mukesh Tiwari fell badly from a horse and got hurt while shooting a horse scene in the film, but he refused to stop the shooting and completed all his scenes. (PC-Emdb)
Very few people know that China Gate was Mukesh Tiwari’s debut film. In the very first film of his career, he played a villain that people still remember. This role opened the doors of Bollywood for him and gave him a distinct identity of villains. (PC-Emdb)
The special thing about China Gate was its huge starcast. The film included more than 20 leading actors with actors like Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Amrish Puri, Danny Dengeongpa, Mamta Kulkarni and Sameer Soni. It was an experience in itself to see such a big name together on screen. (PC-Emdb)
Even though the film did not work much at the box office, its item song ‘Chamma Chamma’, in which Urmila Matondkar danced, is still a super hit among the people. (PC-Emdb)
China Gate, made in 1998, was one of the most expensive films of the time with a budget of Rs 20 crore, but its total earnings in India were only Rs 12.65 crore. The worldwide film grossed around 22.20 crores, which was average. (PC-Emdb)
