He later starred in successful films such as ''Heyy Babyy'', ''Dhamaal'', ''House Full''. ''Double Dhamaal'', ''Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya'' and ''Housefull 2''.

Career

Deshmukh began his film career with the 2003 romance, ''Tujhe Meri Kasam'' opposite Genelia D'Souza. The film bombed at the box office, however the lead pair's performances were acclaimed. He later appeared in ''Out of Control'' in the same year, which didn't create magic financially either. His third film, ''Masti'' which was a comic thriller, managed to strike extremely well at the box office and critically worldwide. He gained to fame after his performance in ''Masti'', the movie Masti made him win 2 awards , and then made friendly appearances in films such as ''Bardaasht'' and ''Naach''. His first lead role to succeed him was his rebel character in the sex-comedy ''Kyaa Kool Hai Hum'' with Tusshar Kapoor. The film was panned by critics, though loved by public, and was a moderate success at the box office.

After that era, he appeared in mostly comic roles besides a few serious roles. Such as in ''Malamaal Weekly'' and ''Apna Sapna Money Money'', he was the scene-stealer and was appreciated. In 2005, he appeared in a supporting role in ''Bluffmaster!'' with Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. He was also seen in Ram Gopal Varma's ''Darna Zaroori Hai''.

In 2007, he was first seen in a guest appearance in ''Namastey London'' and then in the multi-starrer action film ''Cash'' which was a box office failure. Later that year, he appeared in Sajid Khan's directorial debut ''Heyy Babyy'', co-starring Akshay Kumar and Fardeen Khan, which was a huge hit and is his most commercially successful film to date. He also appeared in the comedy film ''Dhamaal'' which was also a semi hit.

In 2008, he played a lead role in ''De Taali'', in which his performance was praised, and later in ''Chamku'', both of which failed at the box office.

In 2009, his first release was ''Aladin'', co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez. Including the multi-starcast, ''Aladin'' still flopped worldwide. He then played a supporting role in Ram Gopal Varma's ''Rann'', again co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav.

In 2010, he once again worked with Sajid Khan on the comedy ''Housefull'' along with Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal and Jiah Khan. The film received negative response from critics, though striked as a Blockbuster commercially. His first release of 2011 was ''F.A.L.T.U'', in which he played a fake principal, though real nursery teacher. His second release of the year was comic sequel ''Double Dhamaal''. Both the films were moderately successful.

His latest film is ''Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya'' in which he is paired opposite his real wife Genelia D'Souza. The film has managed to do fairly well at the box office. He is currently working on another sequel, ''Housefull 2'' which is expected to release 6 April 2012.

Jaaved Jaaferi (, born 4 December 1963) is an Indian actor, dancer, comedian, impressionist known for his work in several Bollywood films and Indian television shows. His father is the famous comedian Jagdeep.

Professional work

One of the most versatile performers in India today, Jaaved Jaaferi is known for donning various hats with flamboyance: actor, dancer, singer, choreographer, VJ, MC, ad filmmaker among others. The son of India’s most popular and legendary Actor/comedian, Jagdeep, Jaaved carries on the tradition of humor with élan.

Debuting in ''Meri Jung'' in 1985, he made a huge impact in a negative role. His performance in the song "Bol Baby Bol Rock & Roll" incorporated a path-breaking style showcasing his dancing excellence. He garnered a huge fan-following inspiring the new generation of dancers. He has acted in over 35 films Indian and international till date winning awards like SCREEN and IIFA.

The launch of Channel V and its irreverent sense of humor gave Jaaved a platform to demonstrate his unique brand of comedy on television in the 1990s. Incorporating puns, impersonations, characters, accents, and introducing the now-ubiquitous Hinglish, he anchored the two cult shows ''Videocon Flashback'' and ''Timex Timepass''. Jaaved co-founded and judged India’s first dance reality show ''Boogie Woogie'' which has broken records and is the longest running dance show, covering 15 years. His other shows on TV include TELE HOUSIE, JBC (Jaaved Broadcasting Corporation), CHITRAHAAR, TRUCK DHINADHIN and CHAK DHOOM DHOOM

His performance in the song "Mumbhai," from the film, Bombay Boys'', which was conceived, written, choreographed by him, gained a cult status among the young dancers and was number 1 on the charts for 6 weeks.

He dubbed Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Don Carnage in Hindi for Disney; scripted the Hindi version of Disney’s ''Jungle Book 2'' and Pixar’s ''The Incredibles'' along with voicing for the antagonist. His character as Charlie Anna in the first full-fledged commercial animated film ''Roadside Romeo'' (a collaborative effort of YashRaj films and Disney) was highly appreciated. His commentary on the famous Japanese TV show ''Takeshi's Castle'' on Pogo TV has also garnered a huge fan following with kids and adults.

Has repeatedly hosted top award shows like Filmfare, SCREEN and IIFA. Furthermore, he has performed in over 200 live shows in India and abroad, and shared the stage with Michael Jackson, Sting, Spice Girls and Queen and the top Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Sharukh Khan, Aamir Khan, AkshayKumar, Shankar Ehsan Loy etc.

Has been associated with advertising since 1980 as a model, choreographer, copywriter, producer and director. The Maggi Sauce commercials, which he writes and co-directs, have won most of the advertising awards over the past 25 years (one of the world's longest brand associations).

He constantly changes his styles and appearance and bedazzles live, film, and TV audiences with his brand of uproarious humor while maintaining a non-controversial and squeaky-clean image.

Film background

The film ''Meri Jung'', released in 1985, gave him his first opportunity to enact the role of a villain and showcase his dancing powers on screen. Television in the 1990s highlighted his comical abilities, extending his popularity further. The launch of cable TV, particularly Channel [V] and its irreverent sense of humour, gave him a niche to depict his unique brand of comedy.

He anchored the show ''Videocon Flashback'' with distinctive brilliance. His deadpan expressions and bilingual puns gave him a formidable fan following.

Another notable contribution by Jaffrey is his performance as an anchor to the top-of-the-charts song programme, ''Timex Timepass'', in which he shifted between the caricatures of characters.

He won his first IIFA award for best comic role in ''Salaam Namaste'' in 2006. He hosts the dance competition show ''Boogie Woogie'' on Sony Entertainment Television Asia with his brother Naved Jaffery and friend Ravi Behl. He recently started hosting a game show called ''Mai Ka Laal'' on Disney Channel India which airs on Sundays at 5pm.
