Deepika Padukone & Boman Irani Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Happy New Year; the 2020s to 83. Deepika Padukone acted in every film; Boman Irani acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Boman Irani was the one who suggested Deepika Padukone for the role of 'Candy' in 'Housefull' (2010). He had just worked with her in a commercial and told producer Sajid Nadiadwala she'd be perfect for the comic timing the film needed.
• In 'Cocktail' (2012), Boman improvised the entire 'sex, drugs, and saada pani' line during their scene together. Deepika's shocked reaction was completely real — she didn't know he was going to say it. The director kept the take.
• On the sets of 'Happy New Year' (2014), Deepika and Boman had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy chai for the entire crew. Boman lost 11 times in the first week alone. Deepika still jokes she funded his tea addiction.
• Their 'Housefull 4' (2019) pairing directly led to Boman being cast in Deepika's production 'Chhapaak' (2020). She personally called the director to say, 'He's the only one who can play this doctor with warmth and humor.'
• Boman Irani on Deepika after '83' (2021): 'She doesn't just act — she listens. In our scene where she's waiting for Kapil's score, I threw in a line about the radio. She picked it up and built an entire silence around it. That's a rare instinct.'
• In '83' (2021), Deepika deliberately underplayed every reaction so Boman's nervous energy as the team manager could pop. She told director Kabir Khan, 'Let him be the heartbeat. I'll be the quiet worry.' That scene in the stands became the film's emotional core.
