He's also the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian Hindi/English-language version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. Many people only watch it because he still hosts it.
Westerners might recognize him from clips of his movies used in Slumdog Millionaire, in which protagonist Jamal is ecstatic over getting his autograph. He also has a small role in Baz Luhrmann's version of The Great Gatsby (2013), as Meyer Wolfshiem, Gatsby's Jewish mobster business partner.
