It's impossible to categorise Paresh Rawal; he's that good. He can make you laugh, cry or quake with fear!
From Hera Pheri to Baghban, this versatile actor gets into the skin of the character so completely that it is hard to say when the character ends and Paresh the man begins.
Our readers thought so too, when we asked them to list their favourite Paresh Rawal-starrers. Here are the most popular picks:
Hera Pheri
Most readers voted for this film. And it was truly one of Paresh Rawal's best.
Paresh played Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, a landlord with a large heart and empty pockets. His performance outdid the other two heroes in the film, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty.
The film, directed by Priyadarshan, boosted the flagging careers of all three actors. In fact, the film was such a roaring success that it prompted producer Firoz Nadiadwala to make a sequel, Phir Hera Pheri.
