''Coolie'' ((ヒンディー語:कुली), 'Porter') is a 1983 Indian Bollywood action comedy film, directed by Manmohan Desai and written by Kader Khan. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan as Iqbal, a railway coolie, with supporting roles played by Rishi Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri, Kader Khan, Waheeda Rehman, Suresh Oberoi and Puneet Issar. The film made over Rs. 10 million per territory, a rare achievement for the time. ==Background Information== The film became famous even before its release when Amitabh Bachchan was critically injured on 26 July 1982 in the intestines while filming a fight scene with co-star Puneet Issar which almost cost him his life. The crew was filming the shot at University Campus in Bangalore. His accident received world wide coverage and hit the headlines in the UK, something unheard of at the time, and many Indians prayed in temples or offered to sacrifice their own limbs to save him. Despite critical injury, Bachchan recovered remarkably and resumed shooting on 7 January 1983. In the final cut of the film, the fight scene during which he got injured was frozen and a message appears marking the scene as the one in which he was injured. Manmohan Desai did this on Amitabh's wish. Due to Bachchan's injury, the ending was also changed. The original script showed Amitabh dying after Kader Khan shot him. But later on, after the injury-and-recovery episode, Manmohan Desai, thinking that this would have a negative impact on the movie as well as a bad feeling in the audience, decided to change the ending. The modified ending has the hero recover after his operation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coolie (1983) )〕 Before the film started Bachchan asked Kannada legendary actor Rajkumar to make his cameo in the film.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amitabh Bachchan wanted Rajkumar to act in Coolie )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dr Raj Leader of golden era )〕 There was a mutual respect in Amitabh and Rajkumar and they were both admirers of each other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coolie (1983 Hindi film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
