He also starred in English films such as The "Evil Within" (1970), where he was paired opposite Vietnamese actress Kieu Chinh and Zeenat Aman and "Guide" (English Version). The English language film "The Evil Within" was a 20th-Century Fox production which couldn't get the nod from the concerned authorities due to its parallel track dealing with opium selling and thus the Indian viewers were deprived of this American venture. Of the 114 Hindi films he appeared in in 6 decades, "Kahin Aur Chal" (1968) had a delayed release in the early 1970s and the multi-starrer film "Ek Do Teen Chaar" (1980) remained unreleased and "Shrimanji" (1968) had him in a guest appearance. By 2011, he had the second most solo lead roles in Hindi films— 92, with Rajesh Khanna having the record for the most films as solo lead hero in Hindi films – 106.
