Boman Irani & Randhir Kapoor Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s belonged to Housefull; the 2020s to Naam Tha Kanhaiyalal. Boman Irani acted in every film; Randhir Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Boman Irani was cast in Housefull (2010) only after Randhir Kapoor agreed to play his on-screen father. The director Sajid Khan specifically wanted a real-life age gap that felt believable — Randhir was 63, Boman was 50.
• In Housefull 2 (2012), Randhir Kapoor kept breaking character during a scene where Boman Irani had to slap him. Boman would start laughing, and Randhir would scold him like a real father — then they'd reset and do it again. The final take made it to the film.
• Boman Irani and Randhir Kapoor never met socially before Housefull. Randhir later told a journalist that Boman reminded him of his own father Raj Kapoor — the same habit of rehearsing lines while eating lunch. Boman had no idea.
• Randhir Kapoor said about Boman Irani: 'He is the only actor who made me forget my lines because I was busy watching him perform.' This was during the promotion of Housefull 2.
• Their father-son dynamic in Housefull (2010) directly inspired the casting of Rishi Kapoor and Boman Irani in 102 Not Out (2018). The director Umesh Kulkarni saw their Housefull scenes and thought: 'These two can sell a real emotional story, not just comedy.'
