His highest-grossing releases came with supporting roles in the comedy-drama Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), the drama My Name Is Khan (2010) and the romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu: Returns (2015). The latter earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Career

Hindi films

Sheirgill started his acting career in 1996 with the critically acclaimed film Maachis, directed by Gulzar, based on the terrorism in Punjab.[8] The film did reasonably well at the box office and got him noticed by all the top filmmakers in the industry, which led him to being cast in Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein alongside stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aishwarya Rai. He has consistently won rave reviews for all his performances in films such as Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Haasil (2003), Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003), Yahaan (2005), Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), Eklavya: The Royal Guard (2007), A Wednesday!

He also worked with rising star of the time Amisha Patel in Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar (2001). He won the Star Guild Awards previously known as Apsara guild awards for Best Actor In A Supporting Role for a movie A Wednesday![9]

Punjabi films

He started acting in Punjabi films in 2005 with Manmohan Singh's Yaaran Naal Baharan, which did well at the box office. He went on to act in several other Punjabi films. He is currently one of the top actors in the industry, and some of the films he has acted in have been hits. He plans to produce and act in one Punjabi film every year, for which he has signed a deal with Bollywood production house Eros International. His first film as a producer, Dharti, released in 2011 and did well at the box office.[10] The next production from his company was Taur Mittran Di, that was released in May 2012. He has lined up two more films for production; the multi-star cast Saadi Love Story, in which he's cast Diljit Dosanjh, Amrinder Gill, Neetu Singh, Surveen Chawla[11][12] and himself in a cameo and another film titled Rangeelay, which casts him in the lead with Neha Dhupia.[13][14]

Personal life and other work

Sheirgill married his long time girlfriend Priyanka Puri in 2001.[15][16] They have a son named Veer.[17] Sheirgill changed the spelling of his surname "Shergill" to "Sheirgill" because the name Jimmy Shergill was already used on social media.[18]

Sheirgill walked the ramp with underprivileged children for a charity fashion show in 2013.[19] In 2014, he donated warm clothes for the homeless in North India. Sheirgill participated in the 6-hour telethon to raise funds to rebuild Kerala, which was devastated by floods in 2018.[20][21]

Sampada Sharma of Indian Express said that Sheirgill is the actor "who focused more on the characters he played rather than being the hero".[2] Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph noted, "Jimmy Sheirgill is an actor so good that he owns every frame he's in, no matter how popular or seasoned his co-star is."[3] Firstpost termed him as "one of the most versatile actors" and added that he is known for being "very choosy about his roles".[22]

In an interview, Sheirgill said that he believes his "unconventional film choices" have worked in his favour as the audiences now associate him with good roles. He further added that it has also led to a lot of interesting work coming his way.[23] Rediff.com placed him 7th in its "Best Actors" list of 2011.[24] Sheirgill is a celebrity endorser for brands and products such as Ezeepay and Mahindra Verito. He has also being the brand ambassador of Punjab Premier League.[25][26]
