He achieved commercial success with films like Taal (1999), Dil Chahta Hai (2001) - which garnered him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor - Humraaz (2002), Hungama (2003), and Hulchul (2004). His performances in Deewangee (2002), Gandhi, My Father (2007), and Aakrosh (2010) received significant critical acclaim. After a brief hiatus, he returned with impactful supporting roles in Dishoom (2016), Mom (2017), and Ittefaq (2017). His recent work highlights a resurgence in his career. His portrayal of a defence lawyer in Section 375 (2019) earned him praise, and his role as a cop in the blockbuster Drishyam 2 (2022) stands as his highest-grossing film to date.
