The Shahrukh Khan & Hrithik Roshan partnership

Their most recent film, Pathaan, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. Pathaan is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Luck by Chance; the 2020s to Pathaan. Shahrukh Khan acted in every film; Hrithik Roshan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Karan Johar originally wanted Hrithik for the role of Rohan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, but Hrithik turned it down because he didn't want to play second fiddle to Shah Rukh. It took a personal call from SRK to convince him to take the part.
- On the sets of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Shah Rukh would deliberately break character mid-scene to make Hrithik laugh — because he knew Hrithik's comic timing got sharper when he was relaxed. Hrithik later said SRK 'taught him how to have fun while working.'
- Their Pathaan cameo face-off — where Hrithik's character Kabir greets SRK's Pathaan with 'Pathaan, zinda hai tu?' — directly inspired a wave of 'crossover universe' fan edits on YouTube, and pushed Yash Raj Films to officially announce a spy universe timeline.
- During the Luck by Chance shoot, Hrithik would drive to Shah Rukh's house every Sunday morning for two months — not to rehearse, but to cook breakfast together. SRK later joked that Hrithik 'makes a better omelette than actor.'
- 'He is the only actor I've worked with who makes me feel like I'm not working. We just play.' — Shah Rukh Khan on Hrithik Roshan, during the Pathaan press tour.
