There are many such faces in Bollywood, who are not very active in films. Despite this, he has his own identity. Today’s story is about one such star, who had a different fan following. His entry into films was as an action hero. That too in the 90s when there were many big action heroes in Bollywood, like Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt. In such a situation, making a place for oneself amidst all this was like achieving a big milestone.
If you watch his old action films even today, you will be able to feel how he looked like an expert warrior fighting on screen. We are talking about Sunil Shetty, who has given films like ‘Balwaan’ and ‘Mohra’.
How Sunil Shetty became famous after entering Bollywood
Sunil’s first film ‘Balwan’ came in 1992. There are reports that people did not know him before this film and this might have been the reason why no actress wanted to work with him. But Divya Bharti agreed to work with him in the film. The film came and became one of the biggest films of that year. He was the first actor of his kind, who was doing such excellent action from the very first film. After this, he got many good action films. Akshay Kumar was also with her in the 1994 film ‘Mohra’. The film was the biggest hit of that year. Despite having another big action star along with him, his action also got as much praise as Akshay Kumar’s.
People were crazy about body builder Sunil Shetty’s ‘Back Kick’
Sunil Shetty was one of the few Bollywood stars who was recognized as a body builder actor. Despite this, unlike other actors in films, he never flaunted his body unnecessarily. One of Sunil Shetty’s best moves was his ‘back kick’, in which he used to turn around and kick his enemy backwards. And if you look carefully, you will also feel that his back kick looks more beautiful than any other action star.
Despite big films coming, Sunil started appearing in second lead.
However, despite giving many big solo films, Sunil Shetty started appearing as the second lead in multi-starrer films. However, apart from comedy and action, by playing a romantic role in the film Dhadkan, he showed the audience that he can do every kind of role, but his films started flopping continuously. This was the same period when actors like Aamir, Shahrukh and Salman were ruling. However, after this Sunil Shetty took such a decision that people were stunned. From being an action hero, one day he suddenly appeared on the screen as an action villain and simply dominated.
When Sunil appeared as a villain
The 2004 blockbuster film ‘Main Hoon Na’ was about to come. The film was being discussed everywhere. The songs of the film were on people’s lips. But people did not know one thing that apart from Shahrukh, Amrita Rao and Sushmita Sen, another surprise package is going to be seen in this film. That surprise package was Sunil. It was not a surprise that Sunil Shetty was in the film, but what he did in the film was a surprise. He was in the role of Raghavan in the film. Which was completely negative. Killing such a negative person was also a left-handed game for him.
Shahrukh Khan Like, whenever he came in front of the actor, he was not overshadowed anywhere. Even in many action scenes, he was seen overshadowing Shahrukh. His character was liked so much that he was nominated at Filmfare for Best Actor in Negative Role for the film. However, this award went to John Abraham for Dhoom.
Sunil is going to appear again on screen
Sunil Shetty is going to be seen in ‘Hera Pheri 3’ very soon. This film is multi-starrer. Apart from this, he is also in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’. Apart from this, he is also going to be seen in an action film Baap with Sunny Deol, Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff.
