The director was known for several Bollywood movies including Dulla Bhatti (1966) and Lootera (1970) which starred starring Dara Singh and Nishi in the lead. Some of his other popular movies were Nagin, Jaani Dushman, Badle Ki Aag, Naukar Biwi Ka and Raaj Tilak.
Actor Armaan Kohli is director Rajkumar Kohli’s son. As a child artist, Armaan featured in two films, both of which were directed by his father – Badle Ki Aag (1982) and Raaj Tilak (1984). Armaan then made his debut as a leading actor with his father’s 1992 movie Virodhi. However, despite everything, Armaan did not get enough fame in Bollywood. After Armaan failed to leave a mark in Bollywood, he participated in the controversial reality show Bigg Boss season seven in 2013. He became a household name during his stint in Salman Khan’s show.
