The first choice for the iconic villain, Mogambo, in the 1983 film "Mr. India" was the legendary actor Dilip Kumar. However, due to his busy schedule and other commitments, he couldn't accept the role.
The role ultimately went to Amrish Puri, who delivered a memorable performance and cemented his place as one of Bollywood's most iconic villains.
While Dilip Kumar was the initial choice, Amrish Puri's portrayal of Mogambo is considered legendary and an integral part of the film's success.
