Video: Did you know Dharmendra fought a shark in the 1980s?

In the film called Aatank, the story revolves around fishermen at a small fishing village where they are threatened by an enormous, indestructible man-eating shark. However, nothing is impossible for our hero Dharmendra; he not only manages to escape alive from its jaws but literally rips it open. Yes, the shark takes a giant leap of faith and jumps towards Dharmendra, who slits it open with his weapon at the end of the film to everyone’s relief (including the viewers).

Well, we know you won’t believe us till you see it.

Watch the deadly shark’s conquest here and don’t miss out how courageously Dharmendra kills it at the end of the film.

We would like to thank Sajid Khan for letting us know about this Bollywood gem. While applauding the recent Hollywood release The Shallows, he posted about Dharmendra’s epic shark film on Twitter.
