His first film job came at age nine, when he played Achala Sachdev's son in the 1953 film ''Shahenshah''. He worked in both the production and direction departments in films like ''Johar-Mehmood in Goa'' and ''Mere Sanam'', which his father was producing. He worked for 7 years as an assistant before becoming the director of ''Andaz'', in 1971. Although this was only a moderate success, his second film ''Seeta Aur Geeta'' (1972) was highly successful. In 1975 he directed ''Sholay'' which went on to become the biggest blockbuster in Bollywood film history and won major acclaim. ''Sholay'' still remains one of the biggest blockbuster films in Hindi film history and remains one of the favourites for Hindi film audiences globally. While ''Sholay'' was a tribute to the Westerns, his next film ''Shaan'' in 1980 was inspired by the James Bond films. In 1982 he brought together veteran actor Dilip Kumar and the reigning superstar of the time Amitabh Bachchan in ''Shakti''. While the film was only moderately successful, it won the Filmfare Best Movie Award. In 1985 he directed Saagar which was considered a comeback film for Dimple Kapadia. He directed a successful television serial titled ''Buniyaad'' which focused on the Partition of India and aired on Indian television channel Doordarshan in 1987. The last three films he directed, ''Bhrashtachar'' (1989), ''Akayla'' (1991), and ''Zamana Deewana'' (1995) were box office flops and he has since not directed any film, as of 2015. His string of hits with Amitabh Bachchan made him one of the golden directors who had a special working relationship with the actor (Yash Chopra, Prakash Mehra, Manmohan Desai, and Hrishikesh Mukherjee being the other four). In 2005 he received the Filmfare Best Film of 50 Years award for his legendary film, ''Sholay''. He has produced films directed by his son Rohan Sippy, such as ''Kuch Naa Kaho'' (2003), ''Bluffmaster'' (2005) and ''Dum Maro Dum'' (2011). In 2006 he produced ''Taxi No. 9211'' which was directed by Milan Luthria. In 2008 he produced Kunaal Roy Kapur's ''The President is Coming'' as well as the Akshay Kumar-Deepika Padukone film, ''Chandni Chowk to China'', directed by Nikhil Advani. In 1989 Ramesh Sippy and his wife Kiran visited Karachi,Pakistan and stayed for a few days. 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「Ramesh Sippy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
