The Shahrukh Khan & Boman Irani partnership
After 8 years apart, they came back together for Dunki (2023). Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. They didn't share a set between 2015 and 2023.
From Main Hoon Na (2004) to Dunki (2023). Their most recent film, Dunki, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Veer-Zaara; the 2020s to Dunki. Shahrukh Khan acted in every film; Boman Irani acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Boman Irani almost didn't play the principal in Main Hoon Na. Shahrukh Khan personally called him and said, 'I want you in this film. Don't say no.' That call got Boman his first major comic role in a blockbuster.
- In Don 2, Shahrukh and Boman shot the prison break scene in one continuous take. Boman set the rhythm by stammering his lines deliberately, and Shahrukh matched his pauses beat-for-beat. The director kept the take because their timing was so tight.
- On the sets of Happy New Year, Shahrukh and Boman had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy chai for the entire crew. Boman lost the first three days. Shahrukh still jokes that Boman funded half the unit's tea budget.
- Their pairing in Main Hoon Na directly led to Boman being cast in Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The director saw their comic rhythm and said, 'If he can hold his own against SRK, he can play Circuit's father.'
- Boman Irani once said about Shahrukh: 'He doesn't act with you. He acts for you. In every scene we did, he made sure I looked good. That's why I never felt like a supporting actor next to him.'
