Boman Irani & Anil Kapoor Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to My Wife's Murder; the 2010s to Tezz. Boman Irani acted in every film; Anil Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Anil Kapoor personally recommended Boman Irani for the role of the investigating officer in 'My Wife's Murder' (2005). The director, Jijy Philip, had not considered Boman initially.
• On the set of 'Yuvvraaj' (2008), Anil Kapoor would deliberately break into laughter during Boman's dialogue takes. Boman later said Anil's laughter was his 'biggest compliment' because it meant the scene was working.
• Boman Irani and Anil Kapoor share a running joke about their height difference. During 'Tezz' (2012), Anil would stand on a box in every two-shot so they appeared the same height. Boman still teases him about it.
• Boman Irani said about Anil Kapoor: 'He is the only co-star who would call me at 2 AM to discuss a single line in a scene. That's how seriously he takes his work.'
• Their only hit together, 'My Wife's Murder' (2005), was one of the first Hindi films to show a husband as the prime suspect in his wife's murder without making him the villain. The film's twist ending influenced later thrillers like 'Kahaani' (2012).
