Although Suniel Shetty started his career in Bollywood with action films, he has made a comeback with the moniker of 'action hero' thanks to OTT and his part in Hunter (and currently Hunter season 2). As a member of a generation, the actor was known for his comedic performances, but he was really attempting to establish himself as an action star. The fact that Suniel Shetty began his career in action films demonstrates this. Indeed, some of his scenes and songs from these movies have become legendary. From Kaante to Rakshak, these films demonstrate that Suniel Shetty has always been an action hero as well as a humorous performer.

These films demonstrate that Suniel Shetty began his career in Bollywood as an action hero

Gopi Kishan

Suniel Shetty's Gopi Kishan plays a dual role as both a police officer and a criminal. As a result, the actor had twice as much opportunity to demonstrate his acting abilities, which he did admirably, particularly in the role of the thief Kishan.

Rakshak 

Rakshak is best known for the song "Sheher Ki Ladki." The movie, which was one of Shetty's earlier works, became his third commercial hit, establishing that he was destined to be an action hero. Shetty portrays ASP Raj Sinha in the remake of the Tamil movie Honest Raj, titled Rakshak. In this case as well, Shetty was observed participating in some very intense action scenes.

Kaante

Through the film Kaante, the group that Suniel Shetty belonged to awoke and decided to use violence. This performer was one of the main characters in the Sanjay Gupta film, playing the part of Marc Issak. Amitabh Bachchan's Yashvardhan Rampal brought him together to carry out the ideal robbery. The movie has become a success throughout the years it has been available on OTT, which is not surprising.

Border

Do we really need to discuss this film at all? In JP Datta's Border, Suniel Shetty played Bhairav Singh and made an impression on the other actors in the movie. Border is an legendary film, from the music to the performances to the story itself, and we are now looking forward to the sequel in which Shetty's son Ahan will carry on his legacy.

"Main Hoon Na"

Suniel Shetty's standout performance as an action star was in Main Hoon Na. Shah Rukh Khan starred in the movie, which featured the actor as the main villain. Here is where successive generations came to appreciate Shetty's hitherto suppressed potential. All the actor needed to demonstrate his skill was a psychotic murderer and a new appearance.
