Biography

Johnny Lever is an Indian comedian who made his name in Hindi films with the mimicry and comedy routines he first performed as a young man. Born in Andhra Pradesh and raised in Mumbai, he left school in the seventh grade and took odd jobs, selling pens on Bombay's streets while imitating film stars. At the factory where he worked, impressions of Elvis Presley entertained his co-workers and gave him his stage name, and he went on to perform in musical shows before joining Kalyanji-Anandji's group, touring with them and with Amitabh Bachchan in 1982. Sunil Dutt spotted him at a show and offered him his first film, Dard Ka Rishta, and his comedy record Hansee Ke Hungame became a hit in the 1980s. The producer Gul Anand then cast him in Jalwa with Naseeruddin Shah. He received 13 Filmfare Best Comedian nominations and won the award twice.
