Versatility is thy middle name. He is one of the most sought after actors in the film industry. A good man, bad man, funny man, or any character ever written Paresh Rawal has played it all. Be it the gangster Vellji Bhai in Sir, which won him the national award for best supporting actor, or the iron man Sardar Patel, Paresh Rawal slides into the skin of the character he plays with utmost ease. One of his most memorable and popular roles till date has been as the goofy Babu Rao in Hera Pheri, for which he won numerous awards.
Paresh Rawal started his journey as an actor from the raw and stubborn road of theatre. He was appreciated in numerous Gujrati plays, before Javed Akhtar discovered him and gave him a small role in Arjun. He played whatever role came on his platter with humility. His major break was in Mahesh Bhatt's Sir, where the role of Vellji Bhai was accepted by critics and public with open arms. Paresh Rawal was also praised for his role as a mentally disabled person in Indra Kumar's Raja. He never got stuck in a rut, or accepted only serious roles. His comic performances in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Hera Pheri, and the recently released Aankhen have become landmark roles.
