This is an actual surviving original Dara Singh movie poster of the 1985 Hindi film that was based on the story of the Mahabharata (one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India), highlighting the might of Bhima.

Printed and circulated during the first release of the film (somewhere in the mid 1980s), this old Indian cinema poster was printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.
This old Indian mythological movie poster features an interesting combination technique in the design of its artwork. Still photographs have been over painted with striking colors, giving this old Mahabharata poster a vivid appearance.

Dara Singh is seen prominently in the poster carrying a Gada (mace) and sparring with Duryodhana, while an epic battle ensues in the background.

The word Bhima in Sanskrit means “big” or “tall” and Dara Singh was aptly chosen to essay his role in the film. With over 500 professional fights to his credit – all undefeated – Dara Singh was awarded the titles “Rustum-e-Punjab” and “Rustum-e-Hind.” In an acting career that spanned over five decades, Dara Singh featured in over 140 films.

Printed and circulated several years after the first release of the film (somewhere in the 1980s), this movie poster was printed for publicity of the re-release of the film in the 1980s but never ended up being used.
This poster was originally designed by cutting out images of actors from separate still photographs (shot on set location) and pasting them on a board. The background and typography are hand drawn / hand painted, which makes this poster an interesting mix of two very different design techniques.
The poster depicts a large cut out photograph of lead actor Dara Singh dressed as Alexander the great. Prithviraj Kapoor and Mumtaz are also seen in the poster as cut outs. Typography used in the poster is completely in English except for the title translated in Devanagari Hindi on the top left.
Sikandar E Azam (1965) is an action film starring the only professional wrestler turned action hero in Bollywood, Dara Singh. In the film, Dara Singh plays the role of (Alexander) while Prithviraj Kapoor is seen as Porus in the film.
Starting from 1963, Dara Singh partnered often with Mumtaz. The two were seen together in over a dozen Hindi films and soon became the highest paid actors at the time.
