Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Hrithik Roshan Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Jodhaa Akbar; the 2010s to Guzaarish. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan acted in every film; Hrithik Roshan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• For Dhoom 2, Hrithik was the first choice for the thief. But Aishwarya wasn't the first choice for the female lead — the director signed her only after the original actress dropped out. She ended up stealing the show as the con artist Sunehri.
• In Jodhaa Akbar, Hrithik insisted on doing his own sword-fighting stunts. Aishwarya matched his intensity by learning Kathak for months. Their dance-off in the song 'Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah' was shot in one continuous take — no cuts, no body doubles.
• Guzaarish was the first mainstream Hindi film where a male lead (Hrithik) played a quadriplegic and the female lead (Aishwarya) played his nurse — without a single romantic song or dance. It directly inspired later disability-themed love stories like 'Margarita with a Straw'.
• During Guzaarish, Hrithik was going through a painful back injury and could barely stand. Aishwarya would quietly bring him homemade soup on set every day. She never told the press. He later called her 'the most selfless co-star I've ever had' in a private interview.
• Hrithik said about Aishwarya after Jodhaa Akbar: 'She doesn't just act — she becomes the character. I had to raise my game every single scene because she was giving me nothing to react to. She was already Jodhaa.'
• In Dhoom 2, the famous 'Crazy Kiya Re' sequence was entirely improvised by the two of them on set. The director had only a basic outline — they choreographed the flirtatious push-and-pull themselves. That scene became the most recreated Bollywood dance of 2006.
