AB Sr & Mr X are the only 2 actors in history to have 10+ Bumper Openings, 2+ ATBB as leading men & 2+ National awards. Can you guess who Mr. X is?

There is only one actor other than Amitab Bachchan who comes to mind who has ATBBs and also national awards- Mr.Sunny Deol.

I recently chanced upon his movie Arjun. What a masterpiece and what a wonderful performance he has put in. The movie is easily one of the top 10 most influential movies of BW. The chase scenes in the movie were copy pasted in almost all the action movies. But yet you ask them to come up with top 100 movies of Bollywood, they will name even the embarrassing movies like Dil Toh Pagal Hai but not Arjun or a Ghayal or Border or Gadar. May be since he is a media shy person, media also conveniently sidelined him.
