Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav appeared together in 8 Hindi films between 2003 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Bhagam Bhag (2006 — 6.5/10). Films span Ek Aur Ek Gyarah (2003) through Welcome to the Jungle (2026).
The Jackie Shroff & Rajpal Yadav partnership
After 8 years apart, they came back together for Gang of Ghosts (2014). Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. They didn't share a set between 2006 and 2014.
From Ek Aur Ek Gyarah (2003) to Welcome to the Jungle (2026). Their most recent film, Welcome to the Jungle, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Bhagam Bhag; the 2020s to Baby John. Jackie Shroff acted in every film; Rajpal Yadav acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In 'Apna Sapna Money Money', Rajpal Yadav was cast as a bumbling sidekick, but Jackie Shroff personally asked director Sangeeth Sivan to give Rajpal more screen time in their shared scenes. Jackie felt Rajpal's comic timing was wasted in the background.
- Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav never rehearsed together. In 'Bhagam Bhag', Jackie would deliberately flub his lines in the first take just to watch Rajpal improvise a reaction. Rajpal later said that pressure made him sharper.
- After 'Apna Sapna Money Money' flopped, Jackie Shroff called Rajpal Yadav and told him, 'Tumhara time aayega, bas apna kaam karte raho.' Rajpal still keeps that voicemail saved on an old Nokia phone.
- Rajpal Yadav once said in an interview: 'Jackie bhai ne mujhe sikhaya ki comedy sirf dialogue se nahi, aankhon se bhi hoti hai. Unke saath kaam karke maine silence ka comedy seekha.'
- The success of their double-act in 'Bhagam Bhag' directly inspired director Priyadarshan to cast them again in a cameo together in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' (2007) — though that scene was eventually cut. The unused footage still circulates among Priyadarshan's crew as a 'what if' reel.
- In 'Welcome to the Jungle' (2026), Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav share only one scene — but it's a single 8-minute unbroken take. Jackie insisted on doing it live without cuts because he wanted to 'catch Rajpal's real laugh' when he messed up. Rajpal didn't mess up. Jackie did. They kept the take.
