Gulshan Grover & Ajay Devgan Movies Together List — 11 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s account for 64% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Dilwale; the 2000s to Lajja. Gulshan Grover acted in every film; Ajay Devgan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Gulshan Grover was the one who suggested Ajay Devgn for the lead in Jigar (1992). The director, Farogh Siddiqui, had initially considered another actor, but Grover pushed for Ajay after seeing his debut in Phool Aur Kaante.
• In Jigar, Grover played the villain while Ajay was the hero. Their face-off scenes had a raw energy because Grover deliberately pushed Ajay to react faster — he’d throw his dialogues at breakneck speed, forcing Ajay to match his intensity without a pause.
• During the shoot of Diljale (1996), Ajay Devgn and Gulshan Grover shared a room in a small Ooty hotel for two weeks. Grover later said they’d stay up late discussing scripts and cracking each other up — a rare bonding moment for a hero and a villain.
• Gulshan Grover once said about Ajay: 'He was a quiet storm even then. In Jigar, I’d finish my line and he’d just stare at me for two extra seconds — that silence was more powerful than any dialogue I had.'
• The success of Jigar (1992) directly led to Ajay Devgn being cast in his first major action blockbuster, which then opened the door for him to work with directors like Rajkumar Santoshi. Grover’s push for Ajay in that film changed the trajectory of both their careers.
