Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, along with Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor and Juhi Chawla playing the leading actresses. Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Paresh Rawal appear in his films playing supporting roles. His biggest success to date is the 1993 film Aankhen, starring Govinda and Chunkey Pandey. His film, Partner also became a big success at the box office. Dhawan is considered one of the most successful directors in Bollywood, but he has been at many times blamed for copying Hollywood and South Indian films. He once had two of his films released on the same date and both did well.
