In a long and prolific career Pran appeared in over 350 films. He was also one among the highest paid actors of his time. He has been one among the most highly successful & respected veteran actors in the history of Indian cinema. The intensity of his portrayal of negative/villainous characters on the screen was effective enough to desist the Indian people from naming their children 'Pran' in the 1950s & 60s & subsequently thereafter (when Pran was at the peak of his villainy). He is the original badman of Indian cinema. Pran was the first true personifiation of 'evil' on the Indian screen. The decades of late 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s were the peak periods of Pran's villainy, especially 1950s & 1960s. He played hero roles from 1940–47, a villain from 1942–1991, and played supporting and character roles from 1967–2007.
