The Katrina Kaif & Salman Khan partnership
Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. From Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005) to Tiger 3 (2023). Their most recent film, Tiger 3, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
It started with Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Partner; the 2020s to Tiger 3. Katrina Kaif acted in every film; Salman Khan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Salman Khan personally called Katrina Kaif after watching her in a music video and offered her the lead in 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?' (2005). She had barely any Hindi film experience at the time.
- On the set of 'Partner' (2007), Salman would deliberately mess up his lines to make Katrina laugh during serious scenes. She said it broke her nervousness and made her loosen up on camera.
- The success of 'Ek Tha Tiger' (2012) directly launched the YRF Spy Universe — the first interconnected film franchise in Bollywood. Without their pairing clicking in that film, there would be no 'War' or 'Pathaan' today.
- During the making of 'Bharat' (2019), Salman would personally drive Katrina to the set every morning because she was uncomfortable with her driver navigating the crowded Mumbai streets. They did this for the entire shoot schedule.
- Katrina said in 2019: 'Salman is the only co-star who can tell me I look terrible in a shot and I won't feel bad. He says it because he wants me to be better.'
- In 'Tiger Zinda Hai' (2017), Salman insisted that Katrina perform her own stunts in the climactic action sequence — including a 40-foot fall onto a moving truck. He stood below the rig during every take to spot her.
