Sunil Dutt was born on 6 June 1929 in Nakka Khurd, Jhelum District, Punjab Province, British India (now in Punjab, Pakistan) into a Mohyal Brahmin family as Balraj Dutt to father Diwan Raghunath Dutt and mother Kulwantidevi Dutt.[1][2][3][7][8] When he was five years old, Dutt's father died. When he was 18, the Partition of India began inciting Hindu-Muslim violence across the country. A Muslim friend of Dutt's father named Yakub, saved their entire family.[9] The family resettled in the small village of Mandauli on the bank of the river Yamuna located in Yamunanagar District, East Punjab, which is now a district in Haryana. Later he moved to Lucknow, United Provinces with his mother, Kulwantidevi Dutt, and spent a long time in the Aminabad Bazaar neighbourhood during graduation. He then moved to Bombay, Bombay State, where he joined Jai Hind College, University of Bombay in Churchgate, South Bombay as an undergraduate and took up a job at the city's BEST Transportation Engineering division.[3][10] He graduated with B.A. (Hons.) in History in 1954.
Director Ramesh Saigal was instrumental in giving Dutt a break in the film Railway Platform (1955) when the latter was hosting the show, Lipton Ki Mehfil on Radio Ceylon.[12] While covering the Dilip Kumar film Shikast in 1953, Dutt met director Saigal, who impressed by his personality and voice, offered him a role in his upcoming film. Saigal came up with the new screen name "Sunil Dutt" for the debutante actor whose real name was Balraj Dutt to avoid name conflicts with the then veteran actor Balraj Sahni
Part of the Dutt family, he is the son of actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis. Dutt made his acting debut with Rocky (1981). A career downturn followed, until the crime thriller Naam (1986) marked a turning point in his career. He rose to stardom with Saajan (1991), Sadak (1991), Khalnayak (1993), and continued to star in several action films such as Gumrah (1993), Aatish (1994). After a short hiatus, he made a successful comeback in 1999 with Daag and the comedy film Haseena Maan Jaayegi. His performance was critically acclaimed in 1999's Vaastav (for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor) and 2000's Mission Kashmir, won him a number of awards and nominations.
Dutt gained widespread acclaim for playing Munna Bhai in the Munna Bhai series (2003-2006), one of his most iconic roles and emerged as his biggest sole commercial success ever. Since 2000, he has starred in several comedy films and played negative roles including Jodi No.1 (2001), Munna Bhai MBBS (2003), Parineeta (2005), Dus (2005), Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007), Dhamaal (2007), Double Dhamaal (2011), Agneepath (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012) and PK (2014). This was followed by a major career downturn with the exception of the Kannada film K.G.F: Chapter 2 (2022), the third highest-grossing Indian film, in which he played the main antagonist.
Dutt was arrested under the TADA and the Arms Act in April 1993 and was convicted later for violation of Arms Act for possession of illegal weapons procured from other accused in the 1993 Bombay bombings. After serving his sentence, he was released in 2016.[4][5][6] Dutt's life receives considerable media coverage in India, and in 2018, Sanju, a biopic based on his life (which also saw a special appearance by him), starring Ranbir Kapoor as Dutt, was released to positive reviews and emerged as one of the highest-grossers of Indian cinema.
