The movie became a blockbuster hit and Shetty began to surface and went on to deliver blockbuster hits through his stunning performances. His intense acting abilities in patriotic movies like Border (1997), Refugee (2000), Qayamat: City Under Threat (2003) and LOC: Kargil (2003) were critically applauded.Throughout his career that spanned fifteen long years, he had acted in over eighty movies – most of them being action oriented movies. Shetty also proved his acting abilities by donning various characters from villainous ones to innocent to serious and comical ones. Hera Pheri (2000), Awara Paagal Deewana (2002) and Phir Hera Pheri (2006) testify to his acting talents in comedy genre and Dhadkan (2000) proved that he can pretty well play a villain too.
