They took me to the commissariat near the railway station, beat me properly and forced me to wash the stairs of the building across the street\u2014from the sixth floor to the ground floor,\u201d he once recounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a bomb fell on their shelter, the actor was sent to Para\u0107in to stay with his relative, where he also lived to see liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe almost all perished on my birthday in 1944. We were all in a German shelter that could hold about 500 people. A bomb fell through the elevator shaft opening directly to us, but fortunately it did not explode. However, from the air pressure we thought we would suffocate. Then another bomb hit our apartment and again we were left with nothing. My parents sent me to Para\u0107in to my relative, who had just returned from captivity. There I saw liberation,\u201d the actor recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As he said in an interview for TV Revija in the 1970s, at the height of his great popularity in Yugoslavia, he was approached by a certain Du\u0161an Proti\u0107, who presented himself as a successful producer and in the West went by the name Denny Marshall. He invited him to Los Angeles with the promise that he would make him a great world star. Burdu\u0161 went to America with his wife, but shortly after visiting several castings, meeting some world stars and speaking with real Hollywood producers, he realized that Marshall was not a person he could rely on, that is, that there was a crisis throughout Hollywood as well as in the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, at those castings, as he recounted in the interview, he was initially promised that he would play the lead role in the film The Godfather, but that the script kept changing, because the mafia controlled everything and had threatened to sabotage the filming if everything did not suit them. Also, Burdu\u0161 had to know English, which was a major obstacle for him at that moment. Realizing that Marshall was deceiving him and that the production was complicated, he resolved the entire problem by the principle\u2014Everywhere you go, return home\u2014and went back to Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only after that did the production decide that The Godfather would be directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who would change the script and, from a primarily mafia story, turn it into a saga about America and the American dream, bring Marlon Brando to the role intended for Burdu\u0161, and also cast many other younger actors who would explode after this film, such as Al Pacino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His life was marked by a severe tragedy. Namely, he caused a traffic accident in which his passenger was killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jani\u0107ijevi\u0107 was sentenced to prison, which he served in the Zabela prison in Po\u017earevac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy father had a five-year contract with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. When everything had already been agreed in 1972, he came to get my mother and me. However, a fatal accident occurred in which one of his friends was killed. Drama followed, a trial, and instead of going to Hollywood, my father went for a year to the \u2018Zabela\u2019 prison,\u201d actress Ksenija \u0110oki\u0107, the daughter of Jovan Jani\u0107ijevi\u0107\u2014known to the wider public as part of the BB Show team\u2014once recounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the traffic accident and serving his prison sentence, he continued to appear in films such as \u201cAnd God Created the Tavern Singer,\u201d \u201cWalter Defends Sarajevo,\u201d as well as in hit series \u201cCitizens of the Village of Lug,\u201d \u201cThe Masters,\u201d \u201cTheatre at Home,\u201d and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the 1970s, Jana\u0107ko appeared in miniatures such as Goran Markovi\u0107\u2019s \u201cSpecial Education\u201d and \u017dika Pavlovi\u0107\u2019s war drama \u201cThe Hunt.\u201d He took on comedic roles in the 1980s, appearing in comedies such as \u201cThe Moth,\u201d \u201cNo Problem,\u201d \u201cSekula and His Wives,\u201d \u201cCrazy Years,\u201d and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jani\u0107ijevi\u0107 passed away on February 26, 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NOVI PAZAR SEEKS SUPPORT: More than 200 DUNP students lost their status, around 30 professors lost their jobs!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SERBIA FACING AN ENERGY CRISIS: The situation with NIS is getting tougher, alternative solutions are being sought for gas supply!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA Hollywood career was within reach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
