The Allahabad-born actor never looked back post the success of "Saat Hindustani" and starred in films like "Anand", "Bawarchi", "Bombay to Goa" among others.
He also earned the tag of "angry young man" of Bollywood when he departed from light-hearted films to action-oriented.
He rose to stardom with "Zanjeer", "Deewaar" and "Sholay" but he continued his stint in love stories like "Kabhie Kabhie", "Abhimaan" and "Chupke Chupke".
The actor will be next seen in "Wazir" opposite Farhan Akhtar.
