Juhi Chawla & Aziz Mirza Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman; the 2000s to Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. Juhi Chawla acted in every film; Aziz Mirza directed all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Aziz Mirza cast Juhi Chawla in 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman' (1992) because he needed a fresh, relatable girl-next-door. He later admitted he was nervous she'd say no since she was already a star after 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'.
• On the sets of 'Yes Boss' (1997), Juhi would often improvise her comic lines on the spot. Aziz Mirza let her run with it, then built the scene around her timing. That's why her character feels looser and funnier than the script suggests.
• Their third film together, 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani' (2000), was the first Hindi movie to be shot extensively in London's Trafalgar Square. The UK tourism board later used the film's footage in promotional material for Indian tourists.
• Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza remained close friends even after their last film together in 2008. She was one of the first people he called when he decided to write his autobiography in 2019, and she wrote the foreword.
• Aziz Mirza once said about Juhi: 'She is the only actress who can make a silly line sound like poetry. I wrote for her, but she made it hers.'
