[edit] Career
He began his career opposite Tabu in the film Prem (1995).[1]
It was Raja (1995) opposite Madhuri Dixit that brought him box office success. Though Raja was a hero-centric and successful film, Madhuri Dixit stole the show, and it did not bring many offers to Sanjay Kapoor. Critics and viewers called Raja out-and-out a Madhuri Dixit film and suggested that it should had been renamed Rani. Karisma Kapoor in Manish Malhotra's show said "when people and critics would talk about Madhuri Dixit and Raja in 1995, I used to think when such thing would happen to me and it happened to me in Raja Hindustani."
He has given critically acclaimed performances as a villain playing the obsessive, psychotic husband of Esha Deol in Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe which was a flop, and he played a terrorist in the film Qayamat: City Under Threat, which was also a semi hit.
