The Vijay Raaz & Brijendra Kala partnership
Between 2021 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 7 films in 3 years. 2022 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. From Sherni (2021) to Chandu Champion (2024).
Their most recent film, Chandu Champion, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active. Chandu Champion is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
Vijay Raaz acted in every film; Brijendra Kala acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In 'Janhit Mein Jaari' (2022), Vijay Raaz played the straight-laced, conservative brother while Brijendra Kala played the comic-relief uncle. Raaz set the serious tone, and Kala kept breaking it with improvised one-liners — the director said they fed off each other's timing without stepping on each other's lines.
- Vijay Raaz and Brijendra Kala have been close friends since the early 2000s, long before they shared screen space. They often travel together to shoots in the same car and share a room on outdoor schedules — a habit they kept even during the three-film run in 2021-22.
- Brijendra Kala once said about Vijay Raaz: 'He is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I am not in the scene. We have a rhythm where I know exactly when he will pause, and I jump in.'
- The director of 'Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai?' (2021) initially wanted two different actors for the roles of the father and the uncle. But Vijay Raaz insisted on casting Brijendra Kala, saying 'He is the only one who can match my energy in a comedy scene.' The director agreed after a single audition.
- Because of their easy camaraderie in 'Janhit Mein Jaari' (2022), the film's producer signed both of them together for a web series that was announced in late 2022 — a dark comedy titled 'Bhai Log' — directly inspired by their on-screen pairing.
