Paresh Rawal Career

Paresh Rawal never wanted to become a cinema actor After excelling in theatre during his school and college days, Paresh joined professional theatre in 1973 with the Indian National Theatre's Vhent Chetu Maut (Death Is Just A Span Away). It was here when Paresh Rawal first tasted success with the super—hit Gujarati Play Tokhar (based on Peter Schaeffer's Equals) becoming a smash hit. It boosted Paresh Rawal’s confidence as an actor and he got involved in theatre. He was happy and had no plans to join cinema but when he saw talented actors like Balraj Sahani, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan on the silver screen, Rawal realized their quantum of reach globally and hence decided to join cinema and enhance his reach among people. But there was no taker for Paresh Rawal in cinema Being inspired to join cinema Paresh Rawal began his struggle with the parallel cinema as he felt his talent would be most appreciated by intelligent filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani and Kumar Sahani but to his horror he found the bitter truth that the art cinema had its star system that was confined to Farooque Shaikh-Deepti Naval, Naseeruddin Shah-Shabana. They had no place for a newcomer like Paresh Pawarl. Hence after a 2 year struggle from 1978 - 1980, Rawal gave up his chase in cinema and resumed theatre. While the art cinema discarded Paresh Rawal, Bollywood recognized his talent It is indeed ironic that when the parallel cinema discarded Paresh Rawal, it was Bollywood that recognized his talent and came to his rescue. One day Paresh Rawal was performing a drama at Mumbai’s popular Prithvi Theatre when famous Bollywood film producer Karim Morani (Famous Bollywood film producer who made many films like Damini, Raja Hindustani, Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Dilwale etc.) happened to notice him. He was bowled over by Paresh Rawal’s superlative act and the next day he accompanied film director Rahul Rawail and showed him Rawal’s act. Rahul Rawail was impressed and thus Paresh Rawal got his first break in Bollywood with the Bollywood film Arjun (1985) starring Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia. Paresh Rahul in his very first shoot for Arjun took everybody by surprise on the set. There was a huge applause when he gave his first shot. In the film, he played a local hoodlum. Rahul Rawal was so overwhelmed that he made Paresh Rawal his fixed actor in all his future films. Mahesh Bhatt made Paresh Rawal a star in Bollywood Though Paresh Rawal got a ticket to Bollywood through Arjun the film that made Paresh Rawal a star in Bollywood was Mahesh Bhatt’s all-time hit Naam, which also made the career of Sanjay Dutt. Again in this film Paresh Rawal was given a villain’s role but unlike Arjun in which he played a side role in Naam, he played the lead villain. The movie was a huge hit and celebrated the Golden Jubilee thus making Paresh Rawal, a star villain in Bollywood. He was flooded with negative roles from top banners like Subhash Ghai’s Ram Lakhan, Salim Akhtar’s Jigar, Rajkumar Santoshi’s Damini, Rakesh Roshan’s King Uncle etc. Paresh Rawal’s Top Performances that display his versatility Paresh Rawal is indeed a marvellous actor who fortunately has explored his talent in Bollywood to the hilt! Some of his remarkable performances that display his versatility need to be mentioned. Among his best performances include the Iron Man of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Sardar, underworld Gujarati don and a caring father Veljibhai in Sir, the rib-tickling twin brother Ram Bajaj and Shyam Bajaj in Andaaz Apna Apna, the handicap loving brother of Sanjay Kapoor in Raja, middle-aged romantic landlord Harilal Godse in Chachi 420, the handpicked husband Manilal Patel in Awara Paagal Deewana, Laliram, the greedy lottery seller in Malamaal Weekly, Evil Goghabhai in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, the atheistic Kanji Lalji Mehta in OMG! Oh My God, the hilarious Dr. Ghunroo in Welcome, the hateful yet lovable guest in Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge etc. His lesser-known film but National Award performance in Who Chokri.
