Katrina Kaif & Akshay Kumar Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 86% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Welcome; the 2010s to Tees Maar Khan. Katrina Kaif acted in every film; Akshay Kumar acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Katrina Kaif was still learning Hindi when she signed 'Namastey London' (2007). Akshay Kumar spent hours on set coaching her through every line, often rewriting her dialogues in Roman script himself.
• In 'Singh Is Kinng' (2008), Akshay Kumar improvised most of his comic beats on set. Katrina Kaif would watch his takes and then mirror his timing in her reactions — she learned to act by reacting to his rhythm.
• During 'De Dana Dan' (2009), Akshay Kumar would bring home-cooked Punjabi food for Katrina every single day. She later said it was the only time she felt truly comfortable on a chaotic comedy set.
• Katrina Kaif once said: 'Akshay is the only co-star who never made me feel like a newcomer. He treated me like an equal from day one.' She said this in a 2009 interview about their partnership.
• Their pairing in 'Namastey London' (2007) directly inspired the 'foreign-returned girl meets desi boy' template that later films like 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' (2012) and 'Befikre' (2016) tried to replicate.
• In 'Tees Maar Khan' (2010), Akshay Kumar deliberately slowed down his comic delivery so Katrina could keep up. The director later admitted that without Akshay's patience, Katrina's scenes would have been cut entirely.
