Salman Khan, Bhagyashree starrer 1989 blockbuster hit Maine Pyar Kiya also gave Raju the golden chance to showcase his comic timing. Raju played a sidekick to the baddie Deep Dhillon, and he did get noticed even in a brief role.
Shah Rukh Khan, Shilpa Shetty, and Kajol starrer Bazzigar was another film where Raju was seen in a blink-and-miss appearance. In the film, Raju played the classmate of Shilpa Shetty.

After Journey Bombay To Goa, the troupe of Raju and other stand-up comedians were seen in another comic film Bhavnao Ko Samjho (2010). However, the film didn't find its audience at the box office.
The late comedian played the character of Shambhu in the 2003 romantic comedy Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon starring Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan in the leading roles.
