Rawal made his debut with the 1985 film Arjun in a supporting role. He was also part of the cast of the Doordarshan TV Serial, 'Bante Bigadte'.

It was the 1986 blockbuster film ''Naam'' that established him as an actor with great talent.

He was in over 100 films throughout the 1980s and 1990s, mostly as the main villain, such as in 'Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja', 'Kabzaa', 'King Uncle', 'Ram Lakhan', 'Daud', 'Baazi' and so many more.

Rawal was perceived as a character actor by both audiences and critics until the 2000 Bollywood cult classic ''Hera Pheri''.

Rawal's acting was a key reason for the major nationwide success the film received. For his performance, he won the Filmfare Best Comedian Award.

Rawal, for the remainder of the 2000s, was seen in mainly comedy-oriented multi-starrers, mostly amongst the lead protagonists such as in Awara Paagal Deewana (2002), Hungama (2003), Hulchul (2004), Garam Masala (2005) & Malamaal Weekly (2006).
