==Acting career==
Sinha got his first acting opportunity to play a Pakistani military officer in [[Dev Anand]]'s ''[[Prem Pujari]]''. Subsequently, he got a small role as a police inspector in Mohan Sehgal's ''[[Sajan (1969 film)|Sajan]]'' in 1969. The release of ''Prem Pujari'' was delayed, so his first released film was ''[[Sajan (1969 film)|Sajan]]''. He later appeared in villainous roles in ''[[Pyar Hi Pyar]], [[Banphool]], [[Manmohan Desai]]'s [[Raampur Ka Lakshman]]'', ''[[Bhai Ho To Aisa|Bhai Ho Toh Aisa]]'', [[Sultan Ahmed (director)|Sultan Ahmed]]'s ''[[Heera (film)|Heera]],'' and in [[Vijay Anand (filmmaker)|Vijay Anand]]'s ''[[Blackmail (1973 film)|Blackmail]]''.

He played supporting roles in many films before appearing in [[Gulzar]]'s ''[[Mere Apne]]'' in 1971. He was cast along with his future wife [[Poonam Sinha]], then called as Komal, in the movie ''Sabak'' (1973). He played supporting roles in ''[[Khilona (1970 film)|Khilona]]'', [[Dulal Guha]]'s ''[[Dost (1974 film)|Dost]]'' in 1974, ''[[Aa Gale Lag Jaa (1973 film)|Aa Gale Lag Jaa]]'', ''[[Jheel Ke Us Paar]]'' and ''[[Gambler (film)|Gambler]]'' in 1970. He acted with [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in films like ''Raaste Ka Paththar, [[Yaar Meri Zindagi]], [[Shaan (1980 film)|Shaan]]'' and ''Kala Paththar'', of which ''Shaan'' was the biggest success. He later acted in ''Bombay to Goa'', ''Dostana'' and ''Naseeb''. His films as the lead hero between 1970 and 1975 were not hits. His first successful film as lead hero was in ''[[Kalicharan]]'' in 1976. [[Subhash Ghai]] had went with the story of ''Kalicharan'' to N. N. Sippy and said he wanted to direct his first film. N. N. Sippy got ready to produce after few days, but wanted to cast only [[Rajesh Khanna]] in the lead role of ''Kalicharan''. Then only when N. N. Sippy confirmed with Rajesh Khanna that Khanna did not have dates for the years 1976 and 1977, Sippy asked [[Subhash Ghai]] to go ahead with the script and direct ''Kalicharan'' with Sinha in the lead.

Some of his notable films as lead hero were ''Ab Kya Hoga, Khan Dost, Yaaraon Ka Yaar, Dillagi, Vishwanath, Muqabla'' and ''Jaani Dushman''. He then became a bankable action hero from early eighties to mid-nineties. He co-starred with Sanjeev Kumar in ''Bereham, Hathkadi, Bad Aur Badnaam, Chehre Pe Chehra, Hirasat'' and ''Qatl''. He starred in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's ''Naram Garam'', Brij's ''Bombay 405 Miles'' and ''Taqdeer''. He has sung the song "Ek Baat Suni Hai Chachaji" with singer [[Sushma Shrestha]] in the film ''Naram Garam'' in 1981, composed by [[R. D. Burman]]. However, when his films as lead hero like [[Prakash Mehra]]'s ''Jawalamukhi'', Amjad Khan's ''Chor Police'', ''Ameer Aadmi Garib Aadmi'' and [[Raj Khosla]]'s ''Mera Dost Meraa Dushman'' became flops, despite being appreciated by critics, there was threat to his career as lead hero. He also produced and acted in the film ''Kalka'', based on life of coal mine workers, released in 1983.

He then bounced back by bagging roles in films with lead hero as Rajesh Khanna in films like ''Dil E Nadan, Aaj Ka M.L.A Ram Avtaar, Maqsad'' and ''Paapi Pet Ka Sawal Hai''. His other hit films in the mid-eighties included ''Jeene Nahi Doonga, Bhawani Junction, Aandhi-Toofan, Ramkali, Ilzaam'' and ''Asli Naqli''. He then went on to star with Jeetendra in ''Hoshiyar, Khudgarz, Ranbhoomi'' and ''Mulzim''. He co-starred with Dharmendra in ''Insaniyat Ke Dushman'', ''Loha'' (1987), ''Aag Hi Aag'' (1987), ''Hawalaat'' and ''Zalzala''. He was in films like ''Telephone'' (1985), ''Sherni'' (1988), ''Khoon Bhari Maang'' (1988) and ''Adharm'' (1992). He starred with Raajkumar in ''Betaaj Badshah'' in 1994 and Salman Khan in ''Chaand Kaa Tukdaa'' in 1994. Sinha credited Rajesh Khanna for getting ''Kaalicharan'' and for the revival of his career as lead hero in the 1980s, however their friendship got affected when Shatrughan Sinha stood as the [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] candidate against Rajesh Khanna in the 1992 election. Though as a Congress candidate Khanna had defeated Sinha by 25000 margin of votes, Khanna was disappointed at Sinha for standing against him in the elections.
