Deol debuted in his father's production Betaab (1983) directed by Rahul Rawail, which was a blockbuster at the box office. It was followed by numerous roles in some other films of that decade including Arjun (1985), Sultanat (1986) and Dacait (1987).[2] In 1989, his role as a police officer in Tridev was highlighted and he also appeared in ChaalBaaz; both were among the top 5 highest earning films of the year.[3]
Deol began the new decade with lead role of a boxer in his father's another production Ghayal directed by debutante Rajkumar Santoshi, which became the year's 2nd top-grossing film. It established and won him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor and National Film Award for Best Actor.[4] He was listed as the top action hero of this decade getting love from public for his action scenes and also appreciated for his dialogues. In 1993, Deol reunited with Santoshi to play an alcoholic justice lawyer in the highly successful social drama Damini and was awarded the Filmfare Award and National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.[5] That year, his character of an lieutenant army officer in Yash Chopra's blockbuster psychological thriller Darr earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Actor nomination.[6] However, his films in 1994 and 1995 were unable to attract audience at the box office, but he again became box office king in 1996 appearing as an criminal on Raj Kanwar's action film Jeet. He also worked with Santoshi third time in the super-duper successful Ghatak (1996).[7] Though his 1998 film Salaakhen didn't perform well, Deol was critically acclaimed for his role. Three years later, he produced and directed his brother's starrer Dillagi (1999) in which he had a lead role too but the film failed to gain success.[8]
In 2001, Deol featured as a Sikh truck driver who loves a Muslim woman in Anil Sharma's patriotic action drama portraying India Pakistan partition of 1947Gadar: Ek Prem Katha opposite Amisha Patel. The film became the highest-grossing Hindi film up until then in mainstream cinema earning over ₹1.3 billion (US$18 million) worldwide and he was nominated for Filmfare Award for Best Actor once again.[9] In the same year, he worked in another highly succeeding action thriller film Indian (2001).[10] He went on to appear in several films co-starring his father and brother, such as Apne (2007) and the Yamla Pagla Deewana film series (2011–18).[11] In 2016, Deol directed and starred in a sequel to Ghayal but it flopped commercially. After playing opposite Preity Zinta in Bhaiaji Superhit (2018), he launched and directed his elder son as an actor in the romantic thriller Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas (2019).[12]
