== Early career==
Starting out in radio, with his command over the [[Urdu]] language, Sunil Dutt was hugely popular on the [[Hindi]] service of [[Radio Ceylon]], the oldest radio station in [[South Asia]]. He moved to act in Hindi films and got introduced to the industry in 1955's ''[[Railway Platform (film)|Railway Platform]]''.

== Film career==
[[File:Nargis tends to an injured Sunil Dutt during the filming of Mother India.jpg|thumb|left|Actress [[Nargis]] tends to an injured Dutt on the sets of their film ''[[Mother India]]'' (1957) when the location caught fire]]

===Debut and coining of the screen name "Sunil Dutt"===
Director [[Ramesh Saigal]] was instrumental in giving Dutt a break in the film ''[[Railway Platform (film)|Railway Platform]]'' (1955) when the latter was hosting the show, Lipton Ki Mehfil on Radio Ceylon.<ref>{{cite web |title=Remembering actor and politician late Sunil Dutt |url=https://www.filmfare.com/features/remembering-actor-and-politician-late-sunil-dutt-37203.html |website=Filmfare |publisher= Worldwide Media The Times of India. |access-date=15 August 2020}}</ref> 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]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Sanjay Dutt: The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood's Bad Boy |date=1 June 2020 |publisher=Juggernaut Books |isbn=9789386228581 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fK5oDwAAQBAJ&q=Ramesh+Saigal+sunil+dutt&pg=PA12 |access-date=15 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Bollywood: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow |year=2006 |publisher=Star Publications, 2006 |isbn=9781905863013 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TO6Fmi8FraUC&q=Ramesh+Saigal+sunil+dutt+balloo&pg=RA1-PT24 |access-date=15 August 2020}}</ref>

===Rise to stardom===
[[File:Sadhna 1958 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Dutt in 1958]]
Dutt shot to stardom in the 1957 film ''[[Mother India]]'' in which he co-starred with [[Nargis]] as her short-tempered, angry son. During the making of this film, a fire happened on the set. It is believed that Dutt braved the raging fire to save Nargis and thereby won her love. They went on to marry in 1958. They had one son [[Sanjay Dutt]], also a successful film actor, and two daughters, [[Priya Dutt]] and Namrata Dutt. His daughter Namrata married [[Kumar Gaurav]], son of [[Rajendra Kumar]]. The two fathers were co-stars in ''Mother India''.

Dutt was one of the major stars of [[Hindi cinema]] in the late 1950s and 1960s and continued to star in many successful films which included ''[[Sadhna (1958 film)|Sadhna]]'' (1958), ''[[Insan Jaag Utha]]'' (1959), ''[[Sujata (1959 film)|Sujata]]'' (1959), ''[[Mujhe Jeene Do]]'' (1963), ''[[Khandan (1965 film)|Khandan]]'' (1965), ''[[Mera Saaya]]'' (1966) and ''[[Padosan]]'' (1967). His collaboration with [[B.R. Chopra]] proved to be successful in films such as ''[[Gumrah (1963 film)|Gumraah]]'' (1963), ''[[Waqt (1965 film)|Waqt]]'' (1965) and ''[[Hamraaz]]'' (1967). One of his favourite writers and friends was [[Aghajani Kashmeri]]. Dutt made his directorial debut and was the only actor to feature in the 1964 film ''[[Yaadein (1964 film)|Yaadein]]''. The film was featured in the ''[[Guinness Book of Records]]'' for ''Fewest Actors in a Narrative Film''. He later produced the 1968 film ''[[Man Ka Meet]]'' which introduced his brother Som Dutt, [[Vinod Khanna]] and [[Leena Chandavarkar]]. In 1971, he produced, directed and starred in ''[[Reshma Aur Shera]]'' (1971) which was critically well received but a box office failure.

During the early 1970s, his career as an actor was at a stand-still. Admist this setback, he played [[Madhubala]]'s hero in the 1971 film ''[[Jwala (1971 film)|Jwala]]'', which was a delayed film that had started production in the late 1950s and was Madhubala's last film. It was ''[[Geeta Mera Naam]]'' (1974) that brought him into the limelight again. The anti-hero was reborn after a long gap of films like ''Mother India'' and ''Mujhe Jeene Do''. Sunil Dutt's performance of Johnny was liked by the masses as he clearly stole the limelight. It was one of the best performances of his career. He continued to star in hits that included ''[[Heera (1973 film)|Heera]]'' (1973), ''[[Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye]]'' (1974), ''[[Nagin (1976 film)|Nagin]]'' (1976), ''[[Jaani Dushman]]'' (1979), ''[[Muqabla (1979 film)|Muqabla]]'' (1979), and ''[[Shaan (1980 film)|Shaan]]'' (1980). He also starred in a series of [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] religious movies in the 1970s: ''[[Man Jeete Jag Jeet]]'' (1973), ''[[Dukh Bhanjan Tera Naam]]'' (1974), and ''[[Sat Sri Akal]]'' (1977).<ref>{{Cite web| url = http://www.afternoondc.in/adc-initiative/latest/article_4702| title = A towering personality| website = www.afternoondc.in| access-date = 28 February 2016}}</ref> Even in 1980s he starred in both leading and supporting role in several successful movies such as ''[[Dard Ka Rishta]]'' (1982), ''[[Badle Ki Aag]]'' (1982), ''[[Raaj Tilak]]'' (1984), ''[[Mangal Dada]]'' (1986), ''[[Watan Ke Rakhwale]]'' (1987) and ''[[Dharamyudh (film)|Dharamyudh]]'' (1988).

He launched his son Sanjay's career with ''[[Rocky (1981 film)|Rocky]]'' in 1981 which was a success. Shortly before the film's release, Nargis died of [[pancreatic cancer]]. He founded the ''[[Nargis Dutt Foundation]]'' in her memory for the curing of cancer patients.<ref>{{Cite web |url= http://www.ndmct.org/foundation.html|title= NDMCT - Nargis Dutt Memorial Charatiable Trust|website= www.ndmct.org|access-date= 28 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160205072448/http://ndmct.org/foundation.html |archive-date = 5 February 2016|url-status = dead |df= dmy-all}}</ref> He was a sponsor of the ''India Project'', an organisation akin to [[Operation Smile]] for the treatment of Indian children with facial deformities.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.filmibeat.com/bollywood/features/2007/sunil-dutt-birthday-060607-1.html|title=Remembering Sunil Dutt on his 77th Birthday... Contd|website=www.filmibeat.com|access-date=28 February 2016|date=6 June 2007}}</ref>

In 1982, he was appointed as the [[Sheriff of Mumbai|Sheriff of Bombay]], an apolitical titular position bestowed on him by the [[Maharashtra]] government for a year.<ref>{{Cite news| url = http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/sunil-dutt-appointed-new-sheriff-of-bombay/1/402520.html| title = Sunil Dutt appointed new sheriff of Bombay|work=India Today|access-date = 28 February 2016}}</ref>

He retired from the film industry in the early 1990s to turn to politics after his last few releases including [[Yash Chopra]]'s ''[[Parampara (1993 film)|Parampara]]'' (1992) and [[J.P. Dutta]]'s ''[[Kshatriya (film)|Kshatriya]]'' (1993). His political career was halted for some years in the early 1990s when he worked to free his son from jail after he was arrested for keeping an [[AK-56]] that he claimed was for the protection of his family after bomb blasts in Bombay.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/sanjay-dutt-convicted-in-1993-bombay-blasts-case-gets-5-years-in-jail-516881|title=Sanjay Dutt convicted in 1993 Bombay blasts case, gets 5 years in jail|work=NDTV.com|access-date =28 February 2016}}</ref>

In 1995, he won the [[Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award]] for his contribution to the film industry for four decades. He returned to acting shortly before his death in 2003's ''[[Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.]]'' in which he shared the screen with son Sanjay for the first time although they had appeared earlier in ''[[Rocky (1981 film)|Rocky]]'' and ''[[Kshatriya (film)|Kshatriya]]'' but did not share any scenes together.
