In the same year, he attempted a comedy role with the fifth film in the Khiladi series, Mr and Mrs Khiladi. Unlike his previous films with Khiladi in the title, the film failed [10] commercially. In the same way as this film, his next Khiladi releases in the following years went on to fail at the box office. In 1999, Kumar received critical acclaim for his roles in the films Sangharsh and Jaanwar. Whilst the [11] former did not make a profit at the box office, the latter turned out to be a success.

2000s

In 2000, he starred in the comedy Hera Pheri (2000) which was a [12] commercial success.

In 2006 he starred in a sequel to Hera Pheri titled Phir Hera Pheri. As was the former, the sequel became a huge [16] success at the box office. Later that year he starred alongside in the romantic musical Jaan-E-Mann. The film was a well anticipated release, and despite receiving positive reviews from critics, did not do [16] as well as expected at the box office.

His next two releases, Heyy Babyy and Bhool [21] [22] Bhulaiyaa, were box office successes as well. Kumar's last release of the year, Welcome, did extremely well [23] at the box office, receiving a blockbuster status and simultaneously becoming his fifth successive hit. All of [24] Kumar's films which released that year did well in the overseas market as well. Kumar's first film of 2008, Tashan, marked his comeback to the banner after 11 years.
