Although he'd never really gone away, All The Best does seem like a comeback film for Johnny Lever. "I've been just waiting for good offers," he rues. And the man has proven yet again that he remains the king of comedy. "I was pleasantly surprised with the reviews I got from fans, the press and the critics," says a modest Johnny. He talks about five roles that he believes brought him immense fame.
1. Jalwa (1987)
I played the character of Murthy, the maalishwala, with a hilarious scene in which he enters the TV and entertains people.
2. Tezaab (1988)
Kainchee was my character, I played a friend in Munna's (Anil Kapoor) tapori college group.
