Shibu Mittra

Vintage Bollywood film poster for sale of the old Hindi movie, Aaj Ke Shahenshah (1990).

This is an actual surviving old Bollywood film poster for sale of the 1990 Hindi film directed by Shibu Mittra which starred Jeetendra, Chunky Pandey, Raj Babbar, Kimi Katkar and Sonam in pivotal roles.

Printed and circulated during the initial run of the film (early 1990s), this rare hand painted Bollywood poster for sale was designed and printed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Originally designed in hand painted oil on canvas format by an art studio in Kolkata, this vintage Bollywood film poster features quirky hand drawn renditions of the lead characters of the film. A large close up portrait of actor Jeetendra is seen painted in green on the right of this vintage Bollywood film poster. Chunky Pandey is seen in a smaller avatar alongside. The bottom of this hand drawn poster shows smaller figures of Raj Babbar, Kimi Katkar and Sonam.

This vintage Bollywood film poster is a two sheeter. Two sheet posters comprise two separate individual single sheet posters measuring approximately 40″x30″ inches each. When pasted together they line up perfectly and together form one single two sheet poster. In the image provided, there may be a slight gap visible between the two – as the images of the top and bottom half have been photographed individually and then joined together digitally. When framed or pasted, there will be no gap visible between the two sheets and the appearance of the poster would be seamless – i.e. just like a single sheet poster.
