Actors in Bollywood such as Salman Khan Shah Rukh Khan Aamir Khan Sanjay Dutt Akshay Kumar and more have made a lasting impression on the audience. However in the 80s an actor made his debut who became the center of attraction. He created a sensation as soon as he entered the industry. The actor was a combination of good looks a ripped physique and jaw-dropping incredible acting. He gave tough competition to all the A-list actors. Not only that but Govinda and Dharmendra even refused to work with him. If you are wondering who we are talking about the actor in discussion is Hemant Birje. If you have seen Babbar Subhashs Adventures of Tarzan then the lead actor with a chiseled body would have surely drawn your attention. He is Hemant Birje. The movie turned out to be a game-changer for Birje and brought him the fame he had been struggling for. Following the success of Adventures of Tarzan Hemant Birje signed an impressive 107 films. However his joy was short-lived. During that era actors with his personality and striking looks were rare yet ironically this also led to him being overlooked for many films. In one of his interviews Hemant revealed that Salman Khan used to sit with him for hours to take tips on bodybuilding. Another actor who adored him similarly was Sanjay Dutt who used to visit his sets to see Hemant Birje in action. Did you know that Govinda and Dharmendra were among those who never wanted to work with Birje in the film Kaun Kare Kurbanie? In an interview he said When I reached the set of this film on the first day Dharmendra ji saw me. As soon as he saw me he called director Arjun Hingorani and said in Punjabi O Arjun come here. What kind of a hero have you brought… His height personality and looks are all good. I will not speak dialogues with him. He added He was a scoundrel. He was also adamant on the set he would not push me. It continued like this.
