The shape of the work

Partnership facts
- Jeetendra personally pushed for Kimi Katkar to be cast opposite him in 'Tamacha' (1988) after seeing her in 'Mard Ki Zaban'. The director was hesitant because she was still new, but Jeetendra insisted she had the right energy for the role.
- In 'Sone Pe Suhaaga' (1988), Kimi Katkar's fast-paced comic timing forced Jeetendra to speed up his usual delivery. He later admitted in an interview that she made him work harder on set because she never let a scene drag.
- During the shoot of 'Mulzim' (1988), Kimi Katkar would bring homemade snacks for the entire crew every Friday. Jeetendra, a known health freak, would only eat the fruit she packed separately for him — a ritual that continued through all four films.
- Their pairing in 'Aaj Ke Shahenshah' (1990) was the last time either of them worked with director K. C. Bokadia before he shifted to making films with younger stars. The film's modest success convinced Bokadia to stop casting older heroes with new heroines.
- Kimi Katkar once said about Jeetendra: 'He was the only hero who never tried to change my lines or my expressions. He let me be myself, and that's why our scenes looked so natural.'
