Here's a look at some of his notable roles.
Taqdeerwala: In this movie, Khan plays the role of God of Death who descends on Earth to find a book that predicts the future. Khan's character is baffled by everything he encounters and this leads to humourous situations.

In the movie, Khan essayed the role of Hoshiyar Chand, who wants his daughters marry into rich families. But fate has other plans for his daughters.

Ghar Ho Toh Aisa: In the movie, Khan is seen in a double role - a character named Bajrangi and also as his dead father. Bajrangi and his father often converse through a photo frame and his dead father's soul follows him wherever he goes.
Bol Radha Bol: In this movie starring Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla, Khan plays the character of Jugnu who has a unique trait. Jugnu loses his eyesight after sunset and later on, he realises that he loses his sense of hearing after 6 pm.
