- Johnny Gaddaar (2007) Johnny Gaddaar is a film dedicated to Vijaya Anand and James Hadley Chase, and is one of the gold standards of Indian noir. The film follows a gang of four, dubbed nonchalantly as The Gang: Sheshadri (Dharmendra), Vikram (Neil Nitin Mukesh), Prakash (Vinay Pathak), and Shardul (Zakir Hussain).
