Prem Chopra

1935–

Prem Chopra has played the villain in more than three hundred and eighty films and is one of the few actors whose self-introduction became a catchphrase. He worked at the Times of India in Bombay while taking parts, and did not give up the job for several years.

His villainy is urbane rather than monstrous, which is what made it last. He is in Trishul, Kati Patang, Bobby and Do Anjaane, and was still working in the 2020s.
