In the 70s, he refused to accept a Filmfare award because he believed the deserving artiste (Ghulam Mohammad) was wrongly denied an award for the music of Pakeezah.
That year, Beimaan bagged seven Filmfare nomination. These included nominations for best director, film, actor, music, lyricist, male playback singer and supporting actor. The film ended up with six of those awards. Interestingly, films such as Shor and Anandata also released the same year, along with Pakeezah and Beimaan.
Pran was well-known for standing up for justice and what he felt was right - he was one of the few film stars who protested against the Emergency, championing the cause of democracy, along with Dev Anand, IS Johar and Shatrughan Sinha.
In his long career, Pran worked on many hits including Munimji, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai, Chori Chori, Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai, Ram Aur Shyam, Gumnaam, Upkar, Half Ticket, Johnny Mera Naam and Purab Aur Paschim, among many others.
While he is more popular as a villain, Pran also had a successful stint in films as the lead actor, playing romantic roles in films such as Khandaan, Sindbad the Sailor and Daughter of Sindbad.
In 2013, Pran was awarded with the Dadasaheb Phalke award when 100 years of Indian cinema were being celebrated. He was unable to personally receive the award, and Information and Broadcasting minister Manish Tewari presented the award to Pran by making a visit to his Mumbai residence.
