    Amrish Puri ( – ) est un acteur indien surtout réputé pour ses rôles de méchant.

A decade later, he broke into Hollywood as Khan, a supporting role in the Oscar-winning movie, Gandhi.

    He was later cast as Mola Ram in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, after initially turning down director Steven Spielberg’s of
