The Rani Mukerji & Anil Kapoor partnership
After 23 years apart, they came back together for King (2026). They didn't share a set between 2003 and 2026. Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema.
From Mann (1999) to King (2026). Their most recent film, King, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Mann; the 2020s to King. Rani Mukerji acted in every film; Anil Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rani Mukerji was just 23 when she starred opposite Anil Kapoor in Nayak: The Real Hero (2001). She later admitted she was 'terrified' of him on set because he was such a big star, but he deliberately cracked jokes between takes to loosen her up.
- In Calcutta Mail (2003), Anil Kapoor played a conman and Rani played a journalist. The film's director said Anil deliberately slowed down his usual fast-talking style to match Rani's more measured rhythm, creating a rare 'push-pull' energy that made their scenes crackle.
- Despite a 20-year age gap, Rani and Anil stayed in touch after their films. When Rani got married in 2014, Anil was one of the few co-stars she personally invited to the private ceremony in Italy.
- Their third film, King (2026), is a direct result of Rani personally calling Anil after a 23-year gap and saying, 'Let's do one more before we both retire.' He said yes without reading the script.
