We've had several other actors in Bollywood who played God onscreen with varying success.

Amitabh Bachchan

This Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra starrer was a story of an aspiring TV anchor (Khan) who's down on luck and blames God for al the mishaps in his life.

God (Bachchan in a cameo) presents himself in front of Arun to clear all the charges levelled against him, much like Jim Carrey's Bruce Almighty.

Bachchan has also played God in Agnivarsha and Delhi 6.

Sanjay Dutt

Sanjay Dutt plays an emotional and designer labels-loving Yumraj, the Hindu God of death in this Mahesh Manjrekar directed 2005 film.

When a young Adi (Shahid Kapoor) dies after a freak accident, the death god helps him return to earth and save his family mansion from evil relatives.

Saurabh Shukla

Saurabh Shukla, who plays God in this film, comes to the rescue of a bumbling office-goer Rajendra Dubey (Vinay Pathak) who dreams of becoming a millionaire but none of his money-spinning schemes work.

Only this is no ordinary God -- he loves to gorge on pizzas and wafers!

Kadar Khan

This 1995 Venkatesh and Raveen Tandon-starrer has Kadar Khan in the role of Yamraj who descends on earth with his sidekick to reclaim a book that he'd misplaced.

The book lands in the hands of a conman who makes a fortune by using it to his advantage.

Rishi Kapoor

Rishi Kapoor's God in Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic dispatches one of his most quirky angels to earth to take care of a family of four kids and their caretaker.

After the angel's job is done, nobody wants her to leave and God transforms her into a human so that she can live on earth with her new family.
