Paresh Rawal made his debut with a Gujrati film titled Naseeb Ni Balihari in 1983. As far as Bollywood is concerned his first film was Hifazat - Life in Danger.
After doing one more not so popular film he was seen in Ketan Mehta’s, Holi which starred Aamir Khan, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah and Kittu Gidwani.
Further he was seen in films like Lorie, Arjun, Bhagwan Dada and Samundar. But the film which made him popular was the Mahesh Bhatt directed film Naam which starred Sunjay Dutt and Kumar Gaurav.
He playes an antagonist character named Rana. Though the character was negative there was a slight decency in his mannerisms and I can still remember his unique laughter in the film.
After Naam he mostly played negative roles later shifted to comedy genre and character roles. No doubt, Paresh Rawal’s performance in Naam surely finds a place in his top performances list. An actor par excellence.
