From Andaz Apna Apna (1994) to Ready (2011). Baghban is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Andaz Apna Apna; the 2010s to Ready. Paresh Rawal acted in every film; Salman Khan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Salman Khan was not the first choice for 'Andaz Apna Apna'. The role of Amar was originally offered to Aamir Khan's brother Faisal. Salman only came on board after Aamir suggested him to director Rajkumar Santoshi.
- On the sets of 'Andaz Apna Apna', Salman and Aamir had a running gag where they would try to make each other laugh during serious scenes. The director had to shoot their close-ups separately because they kept breaking character.
- The 'Ready' remake (2011) directly led to the launch of a new trend: Bollywood's 'mass entertainer' remakes of South Indian hits. Its success greenlit a dozen similar projects, including 'Bodyguard' and 'Rowdy Rathore'.
- Despite playing brothers in 'Baghban', Salman and Paresh Rawal barely spoke during the shoot. Paresh later admitted in an interview that Salman was going through a personal crisis at the time and kept to himself.
- Paresh Rawal on working with Salman in 'Andaz Apna Apna': 'He is a natural comedian. He doesn't try to be funny. He just is. That's why his timing is so perfect.'
