Sunil Grover Filmography – Movies, TV Shows & Web Series – Biography Points

Sunil Grover’s filmography is the work of an actor who built a career across three decades without ever standing still. His full biography covers the life and personal journey — but this page is about the body of work itself: every confirmed film, television show, and web series he has appeared in, from his earliest screen credits in the late 1990s through to his most recent productions in 2025 and 2026.

His first film credit came in 1998 with Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, where he played a barber named Totaram — a minor role, but a start. A year later came Mahaul Theek Hai (1999). These were small steps, and Grover was under no illusion that a film career would arrive quickly. Through the early 2000s, he continued to take on whatever came — a college student in Main Hoon Na (2004), a character named Mahesh in Insan (2005), a supporting role in Family: Ties of Blood (2006). Each appearance was brief. None was particularly noticed. But each one placed him in front of a camera and in the same rooms as directors, producers, and casting teams who would remember him later.

The role that changed his trajectory in film came in 2008. In Ghajini, the Aamir Khan-led blockbuster directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Grover appeared as Sampat — a small part in one of the biggest Hindi films of that year. The exposure mattered.

His television breakthrough ran parallel. From his debut on Gutur Gu on SAB TV in the late 1990s, through Chala Lallan Hero Banne on the Filmy channel in the 2000s, to his eventual arrival on Comedy Nights with Kapil in 2013 — where his characters Gutthi, Rinku Bhabi, and Dr. Mashhoor Gulati made him one of the most recognised faces on Indian television — Grover was building two careers simultaneously. The television work fed the film work, and vice versa.

His film credits from 2012 onward read as a steady climb through increasingly significant productions: Zila Ghaziabad (2013), Heropanti (2014), Gabbar Is Back (2015), Vaisakhi List and Baaghi (both 2016), Coffee with D (2017), Pataakha (2018), Bharat (2019), Goodbye (2022), Jawan (2023), and Blackout (2024). Each of these placed him alongside some of the biggest names in Hindi and Punjabi cinema — Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan — and each demonstrated a different dimension of his range.

In Gabbar Is Back (2015), he played Constable Sadhuram — a comic role that drew critical attention for its precision. In Baaghi (2016), he played the father of Shraddha Kapoor’s character — a casting choice that placed him firmly outside the comedy lane he was best known for. In Bharat (2019), he played Vilayti Khan alongside Salman Khan. In Jawan (2023), one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever made, he appeared as Irani alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

His web series work added another layer entirely. Tandav (Amazon Prime Video, 2021), Sunflower (ZEE5, 2021–2024 across two seasons), United Kacche (ZEE5, 2023), and a guest appearance in Dabba Cartel (Netflix, 2025) as the drug lord Chacko Kurian showed an actor deliberately choosing roles that had nothing to do with the characters that made him famous.

On television, The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix — which premiered in March 2024 and ran through four seasons to March 2026, with a fifth season confirmed — brought his comedy back to a global audience for the first time.

An upcoming film, Vvan – Force of the Forrest, is confirmed in his future credits.
