Then, in 1993, he acted in nine different movies: Platform, Shaktiman, Dhanwan, Ek Hi Raasta, Sangram, Dil Hai Betaab, and Bedardi. Even though each of these films did not do particularly well at the box office, it was only Dilwale (1994) that won him both critical and commercial praise. Following his role in the critically panned film Itihaas, he acted in Indra Kumar's phenomenal smash film Ishq (1997), which also starred Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Kajol. He finished the decade with highly successful movies such as Raincoat (2004), for which he won his second National Award, Yuva (2004), Apaharan (2005) - nominated for a national award - Omkara (2006) and Raajneeti (2010).
The romance film De De Pyaar De and the adventure comedy Total Dhamaal are two of his other noteworthy 2019 projects.
