It is unlike any of the usual chowk plaques. It's neat and stylish. Considered one of the greatest villains of the industry, Pran passed away in 2013. One of his most memorable roles was in the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Zanjeer (1973), which had the chartbuster Yaari Hai Iman Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi.
The next time you are passing by Carter Road, Bandra, look out for the Pran Chowk near the corner which leads to Union Park and is dotted with food joints.
