3. Aman aka Sagar in Saajan: A softer side of the bad boy was shown in this movie and we literally felt pain for Baba when he confesses to his brother Akash (played by Salman Khan) that he loves the same woman whom Akash loves. We still can’t forget the songs in the movie which were quite hummable even now.
4. Ballu in Khalnayak: Nayak Nahi Khalnayak Hoon Main, the song which most of us have sung and danced all our life was from the film Khalnayak. Sanju played the role of a most wanted dreaded criminal who’s at large after escaping from prison and falls in love with a woman who is actually an undercover cop to catch him. The movie solely belonged to him.
5. Raghunath Namdev Shivalkar in Vaastav: Pachas Tola, Pachas Tola which we have been hearing since Vaastav released in theatres. The film revolved around a simple chap who makes his living by running a food cart in Mumbai and gets into trouble when he accidentally kills a customer because of his frequent bullying and ends up becoming the part of Mumbai Underworld as a cold-blooded contract killer.

7. Ajju Rehan in Kaante: A foul mouthed womanizing gangster who is arrested in Los Angeles, USA under the connection of robbing a truck full of cash was this movie. I was laughing my heads off during the interrogation scene when he lies to the cop that he was sleeping with his wife the whole time and the cop doesn’t understand what he’s saying despite the translator misinterpreting his words. The role won him the critics award in 2003.
8. Murli Prasad Sharma aka Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai: The role which established Sanju baba popular in the comedy genre as well was this movie.
