Kumar Gaurav Determined to Bounce Back.

Kumar Gaurav, the chocolate hero of the 1980s, is at last coming out of self- imposed hibernation. And it is none other than his brother-in-law Sanjay Dutt who is helping to bounce back to Bollywood.

Sanjay Dutt is venturing into film production after forming his company White Feather Films along with his friend Sanjay Gupta. The duo have plans to launch their film titled Kaante the coming months and Kumar Gaurav has a very important role in it.

Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the film is based on Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs". It is about seven bank robbers who loot a bank. Driven by greed, they kill one another. Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Mahesh Manjrekar, Akshay Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan play the trigger-happy robbers and Kumar Gaurav plays the undercover cop recruited to nab them.

Kumar is convinced that Kaante will catapult him back into the limelight.

We saw Kumar last year in an inconsequential film Gang (2000). Since then the man has not been on silver screen. He made his small screen debut in Rishta Kachche Dhagon Ka which has not done him any good. 

His plans to produce a film called Chakra are in cold storage too.

Kumar Gaurav: 'I'm an actor' Finally, at 40 plus, it seems like   Kumar Gaurav's   second innings has actually started. In the news because of his performance in the late Mazhar Khan's much belated Gang, he has also acted in two rather slick telefilms --  Sikander   and   Chocolate , both directed by Vivek Agnihotri -- which are due for release soon.   . He speaks of the experience in rather staccato bursts, as if unwilling to discuss a career noted, more than anything else, for its massive run of ill luck. For   Bunty , as he is fondly known, is acknowledged as a fine actor. His very first film, Love Story, brought him adulation and bouquets in no mean measure. The industry pundits predicted that a star worth watching had been born. Challenging roles like   Janam (1985)   and   Naam (1986)   followed, but he was unable to reactivate the audience's response to successful stars. Though everyone acknowledged his acti...

Star (1982) Director: Vinod Pande  Music: Biddu; Lyrics: Indeevar/Amit Khanna  Year: 1982  Running Time: 132 minutes If you are a fan of Disco Dancer (and who isn't!) you might want to check out this film starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri. Disco Dancer started a disco craze in India (some five years after the release of Saturday Night Fever in the U.S.) and a few other disco related films naturally followed on its white leather patent dancing heels. Star was made in the same year as Disco Dancer - 1982 - and though it is reasonably fun, it is lacking the unintentional lunacy and over saturated cheese of Disco Dancer. Disco Dancer reached such sublime heights of bad fashion, bad dance steps and bad dialogue that it has reached cult status – and also because it is so much darn fun! Star doesn’t have quite the same ambitions and so has less distance to fall and it also hasn’t aged quite as deliriously badly as Disco Dancer. It still has its campy pleasure...
