Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-05 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Sushmita Sen and Amitabh Bachchan appeared together in 4 Hindi films between 1993 and 2007. Their highest-rated collaboration was Aankhen (1993 — 5.8/10). Films span Aankhen (1993) through Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007).
The Sushmita Sen & Amitabh Bachchan partnership
After 8 years apart, they came back together for Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007). They didn't share a set between 1999 and 2007. From Aankhen (1993) to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007).
The work is uneven: Aankhen (5.8) at one end, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2.2) at the other. It started with Aankhen (1993).
The shape of the work
The 1990s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Aankhen; the 2000s to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. Sushmita Sen acted in every film; Amitabh Bachchan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Sushmita Sen was just 17 and fresh off winning Miss Universe when she was cast opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Aankhen (1993). The director, David Dhawan, took a huge gamble pairing a teenager with a legend — and she held her own in a film that was originally written for a more experienced actress.
- In Hindustan Ki Kasam (1999), Amitabh Bachchan played a grizzled soldier while Sushmita played a fiery village girl. The film's only memorable scene is a confrontation where she slaps him — and Bachchan later admitted in an interview that her intensity in that moment surprised him, making him raise his own performance.
- Despite the disastrous box office of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007), Sushmita and Amitabh remained close off-screen. She once revealed that he would call her 'Beta' (daughter) on set, and she would tease him about his iconic baritone — a warmth that never made it to the screen in that film.
- Amitabh Bachchan once said about Sushmita: 'She has a rare fearlessness. In Aankhen, she was a newcomer, but she never once looked intimidated. That takes guts.' — from a 2007 interview promoting Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag.
- Their pairing in Aankhen (1993) was one of the earliest examples of a massive age-gap romance in 90s Bollywood — a trend that later inspired films like Mohabbatein (2000) and even the recent Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023).
