Master Raju<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The cuter and more powerful the childhood image, the tougher is the attempt to break away. Master Raju, who was first cast as a three-year-old in Parichay by Gulzar, went on to become almost a must-have practically in all the Bollywood films the 70’s era , often stealing the scenes from the lead actors, as in Kitaab. He won two coveted awards like the national award for child artiste in Chitchor (where he followed ‘Zareena Wahab’ to the most romantic of locations, much to the trouble of ‘Amol Palekar’) and the Filmfare Award for the best child artiste in Gulzar’s Kitaab. Besides, Raju is also very popular as junior Amitabh — a role he played in three blockbusters, Deewar, Trishul and Nastik. As a child, he maintained his innocence and that is what bagged him his first role with in Parichay. The best memory that remains in one’s mind is his smile, which spread on his face from one corner to the other.<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
