Ha Ha Hi Hi Hu Hu He He…………………………………..Hey don’t copy, right, go and watch his movie and then u will understand why are these expressions. Don’t you know whom I am talking about? Yes, I am talking about none other than, the symbol of comedy, the sign of humour, and an artist whose expressions are enough to make you feel lol, The JOHNNY LEVER. His facial expression is extra ordinary; I never saw such an expression on any face being in this industry or in the crowd I have ever come across.
An ordinary mimicry artist, born in Andhra Pradesh, who used to do stage shows for Kalyanji Anandji was identified first by Sunil Dutt in a charity show and was promised by him for the break in a movie, and he gets it, in ‘Dard Ka Rishta’. That was the day and is today, he didn’t see back and climbed on the top in the queue of some of the great comedians of the all times.
His best part is his mimicry and the art of copying things, you won’t believe if I say once he spoke to a South African man for 30 minutes in his language and the blacky South Indian didn’t even notice that this guy doesn’t know the ABCs of his language. That was the art he knew, he was able to copy the gestures, style, attitude, speaking style and everything except the look. You wouldn’t mind getting confused hearing him sometimes, don’t get surprised if it feels like Big Bs voice or of someone else.
His ideals of all the times are Johnny walker, Mehmood, Kishore Da, and offcourse our own Soorma Bhopali, Jagdish Saheb. He is amazed at the style and the tune of speech of Johnny Walker, which never got changed, it still echoes in the ears even after his death.
He is been superb in all the movies he has done. We can never forget his role in Bazigar, his tremendous effort of creating humour with his great look and expressions and his art of forgetting things. He has acted in so many films and all are EK SE BADHKAR EK. And the one I am talking about is his favourite role too. He has recently performed a mimicry show in United States and the one he copied was Michael Jackson, unimaginable.
So, at the last what I suggest is a long long life to this comedian who puts smiles and laughter on so many faces.
Keep laughing and smiling because the life is for those, who dare to fight with agony and not for those who weep on the past.
At the last I am happy to write the first review on this great man.
With Love,
Satyen
