Initially he played all roles including lead roles but with time the roles he got were mainly those with a shade of grey.

Chaudhvin Ka Chand and Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam and Waqt were some of his memorable roles, the first two with Guru Dutt. He was a regular in Guru Dutt films ( Pyaasa) as they were friends while trying for a break into films.
