Shaan (Hindi: शान, Urdu: شان) is a 1980 Indian Hindi film. It is director Ramesh Sippy's 2nd film with Amitabh Bachchan after Sholay. The story was written by Salim-Javed.
Expectations were high as this was the film that was to have expected to match the success of Ramesh Sippy's previous blockbuster film Sholay. It didn't match the success of Sholay but still it was another "blockbuster" of Bachchan. [1]. Director Ramesh Sippy tried to round up the same people from Sholay, and he succeeded only partly by getting superstar Amitabh Bachchan and music composer R.D. Burman who composed the unforgettable songs for the film and earned the film's only Filmfare nomination for Best Music.
The film took 3 years to make, because of the juggling around of stars busy schedules. While Sholay drew its inspiration from the American Western and spaghetti western films, Shaan took its lead from the James Bond films with fancy sets and beautiful costumes. The famous bald villain Shakaal, played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda, was based on the James Bond villain Blofeld.
