Sunil Shetty started his Bollywood career in 1992 with Balwaan and followed it up with roles in movies such as Pehchaan, Anth, Waqt Hamara Hai and Dilwale. But it was with Mohra in the year 1994 that Suniel got his first taste of success in his career.

A number of roles in inconsequential films such as Takkar, Vishwasghaat, Rakshak and many others followed. He managed to rescue his career which was at its brink, with a small but meaningful role with J.P. Dutta's highly acclaimed Border.

After another series of not so memorable roles he hit a high with Hera Pheri, Refugee and Jungle, Main Hoon Na, Dus & Chocolate.

His upcoming ventures include Mazhab: The Religion, Don't Stop Dreaming & Phir Hera Pheri.
