Asrani
Seen across enough titles, Asrani turns into a familiar face with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. 'Sholay' is the title most people reach for first, with Jailor at the center of it. 'Hera Pheri' belongs on any short list of his work. Most of the work sits in comedy. The filmography runs to some 214 credits between film and television.
