Today, it may have become a trend amongst all leading actors–male and female –to have a role with negative shades in their repertoire, but in 1943, when Ashok Kumar essayed ‘Shekhar’–an anti-hero–in the film 'Kismet', it went on to create box-office history. He played a pickpocket, a conman and a regular jailbird, thereby earning a place in the pantheon of Bollywood all-time greats. It was indeed a watershed characterisation. Legend has it that the film ran for three years in some theatres and grossed around Rs 60 crores.
