MOVIES - April 14, 1987
Indian film star-turned-politician Sunil Dutt ended a 1,200-mile walk for peace Monday, meeting with Sikh high priests in the religion’s holiest shrine, the Golden Temple. Dutt, suffering from jaundice and blistered feet, arrived in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar, escorted by armed police at the end of his marathon walk from Bombay, India’s main commercial city. The tough-guy hero of more than 100 Hindi films, Dutt undertook the 77-day walk against the background of violence by Sikh extremists fighting for a separate homeland in northern India.
