The Shahrukh Khan & Naseeruddin Shah partnership
After 14 years apart, they came back together for Badla (2019). They didn't share a set between 2005 and 2019. They saved their best for last — Badla (7.8/10) came 27 years in.
Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. From Chamatkar (1992) to Badla (2019).
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa; the 2010s to Badla. Shahrukh Khan acted in every film; Naseeruddin Shah acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Naseeruddin Shah was the one who pushed for Shahrukh Khan to be cast in Chamatkar (1992). The director Rajiv Mehra was unsure about SRK, but Naseer insisted he had the right energy for the role.
- In Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993), Naseer played the priest who gives SRK's character advice. SRK later said Naseer's improvisations in their scenes together taught him how to react without dialogue — just using his eyes.
- On the set of Chaahat (1996), Naseer would deliberately mess up his lines to make SRK laugh during serious scenes. SRK called it 'the only time I couldn't keep a straight face on set.'
- Badla (2019) was the first time they shared a scene after 14 years. The film's success directly led to a wave of Bollywood remakes of Spanish thrillers, including the Taapsee Pannu-Amitabh Bachchan film Thappad's production team greenlighting similar projects.
- Naseeruddin Shah on SRK: 'He is the only actor I've worked with who can make you forget you're acting. In Paheli, I just watched him and forgot my lines twice.'
- After Gaja Gamini (2000) flopped, Naseer called SRK and said, 'At least we got paid to watch Madhuri Dixit dance.' SRK still brings this up whenever they meet.
