Jackie Shroff & Shahrukh Khan Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to King Uncle; the 2010s to Bigil. Jackie Shroff acted in every film; Shahrukh Khan acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

• Jackie Shroff was the one who pushed Shah Rukh Khan to take the role of Devdas in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 film. SRK was hesitant about the tragic character, but Jackie told him, 'You have to do this role. It will define you.' It did.
• In 'One 2 Ka 4' (2001), Jackie and SRK played cops with completely opposite styles — Jackie was the loud, physical action hero, while SRK was the smooth talker. The director said they deliberately played off each other's strengths: Jackie set the pace in fight scenes, SRK took over in dialogue-heavy moments.
• Their 2019 Tamil film 'Bigil' (dubbed in Hindi) became a massive blockbuster with over 250 crore worldwide. It directly launched a trend of Bollywood stars doing cameos in South Indian masala films — SRK's appearance in a Vijay film opened the floodgates for cross-industry collaborations.
• Jackie Shroff has called Shah Rukh Khan 'my younger brother' for decades. On the sets of 'Trimurti' (1995), Jackie would bring home-cooked food for SRK because the young actor was living alone in Mumbai and eating badly. SRK still mentions this in interviews.
• Shah Rukh Khan on Jackie Shroff: 'Jackie is the only actor who can make me laugh so hard I forget my lines. On the set of 'King Uncle', we had to reshoot a scene three times because he kept cracking me up.'
• In 'Devdas', Jackie played Chunnilal — a role that required him to be a drunk, comic foil to SRK's tragic hero. Jackie improvised most of his slurred, stumbling walk and the way he'd lean on SRK during scenes. SRK later said Jackie's physical comedy made his own performance easier because he could react naturally.
