Meet actor who delivered 7 blockbusters in 1987 alone, redefined stardom, and left Box Office shaken, his name is..., films are...

In an industry where stars flicker and fade faster than weekend collections, Dharmendra is a rare supernova, still glowing, still rising, even at 89. But long before he was Bollywood's charming granddad, he was a one-man action storm in the '80s. And in 1987, he didn't just show up — he took over. Who is Bollywood's original action hero? Born on December 8, 1935, in Punjab, Dharmendra started his journey in 1960 with Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere. What followed was a career that would go on to define masculinity in Indian cinema, rugged, romantic, and real. He carved a niche that balanced power with poetry. His voice? Thunder. His dialogue delivery? Iconic. His onscreen presence? Unmistakable. What made 1987 a record-breaking Year for Dharmendra? In a time before streaming and social media, Dharmendra was the original content machine. In 1987 alone, he starred in 12 films, a feat in itself, seven of which became box office hits. From Loha to Dada Giri, and from Hukumat to Mard Ki Zabaan, he was the face of mass entertainment, releasing more blockbusters in a year than most actors manage in a decade. These were the films The seven films from that legendary year that struck gold are Loha, Dada Giri, Hukumat, Watan Ke Rakhwale, Insaniyat Ke Devta, Jan Hatheli Pe and Mard Ki Zabaan. Each one is packed with powerful dialogues, flying punches, and Dharmendra's magnetic screen energy, all of which still draw millions of YouTube views today. He is still active in cinema Absolutely. In 2023, he was seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani as a suave, poetry-loving grandfather. In 2024, he played a lovable Daadu in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Even today, he charms across generations, proving that legacy isn't built on fame alone, but consistency and soul. Dharmendra's film career With nearly 300 films under his belt, Dharmendra has done everything, from slapstick (Chupke Chupke) to spine-chilling (Sholay), from folklore (Ali Baba 40 Chor) to feel-good family dramas (Yamla Pagla Deewana). He's acted alongside his sons Sunny and Bobby Deol, built a dynasty, and yet, he remains humble — a star who never needed to shout to shine.

Lions confiscated after social media stunt

Two African lions have been seized by the Punjab Wildlife Department after a viral TikTok video showed them being paraded through a residential neighbourhood in Gujranwala alongside firearms. The wildlife department officials said the video featured a man identified as Luqman - known on social media as "Loha" - walking a chained lion through the Batala Sharam Singh area on the outskirts of the city. Automatic weapons were also seen in the footage, prompting fears of both a potential animal attack and a threat to public safety. Following the video's circulation online, Deputy Director Wildlife Rangers Gujranwala Region Sheikh Zahid Iqbal ordered immediate action. Senior Wildlife Ranger Muhammad Umair led the investigation, tracing the incident to a private farmhouse where two African lions were being kept without a license or any legal documentation. "No permits or registrations had been submitted to the department, as required under the Punjab Wildlife Act," said Ranger Umair. A formal case has been registered against a man named Muhammad Akram, believed to be connected to the illegal possession. However, Luqman, the individual seen in the video, is still at large. Under the amended Punjab Wildlife Act of 1974 - revised in 2025 - the private keeping and public display of big cats in residential areas is strictly prohibited. The act also criminalizes sharing social media content that features wildlife in ways that may endanger the animals or the public. Officials emphasised that the lions have now been transferred to a certified wildlife breeding facility, and legal proceedings are underway. "This is not just a violation of animal welfare laws—it's a public safety issue," said a spokesperson for the Wildlife Department. "No one is above the law, and using wild animals for online fame will not be tolerated."
