1990s[edit]

With his portrayal of an amateur boxer wrongly accused of his brother's murder in Rajkumar Santoshi's Ghayal, Sunny proved that he still ruled the industry when it came to action sequences. Produced by the home banner Vijayta Films, the movie was an instant hit with the masses and went on to win seven Filmfare Awards.[9] His performance won him his second Filmfare Best Actor Award and also his first National Film Award.[10] In 1991, Sunny starred in about 5 films but only Narsimha was a success.
