Indra Kumar & Ajay Devgan Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Ishq; the 2020s to Dhamaal 4. Indra Kumar directed every film; Ajay Devgan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Indra Kumar cast Ajay Devgn in 'Ishq' (1997) only after Aamir Khan and Salman Khan both passed. Ajay was the third choice for the role that became his first major hit.
• On the sets of 'Masti' (2004), Ajay Devgn improvised the entire 'baby' dialogue sequence in the climax. Indra Kumar kept the camera rolling and later said that take was the only one used in the final cut.
• The success of 'Ishq' (1997) directly led to Indra Kumar greenlighting 'Masti' (2004) — a sex comedy that spawned two sequels and launched the 'Masti' franchise, which Ajay Devgn later produced.
• Ajay Devgn and Indra Kumar have a standing dinner ritual every New Year's Eve — they've only missed it twice since 1997, once when Ajay was shooting in New Zealand and once during the pandemic.
• "Ajay is the only actor who can make a comedy scene feel like a thriller. He brings that intensity even when he's being silly." — Indra Kumar, during the 'Masti' press tour in 2004.
