Long-Term Partnership

The Salman Khan & Atul Agnihotri partnership

Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. From Veergati (1995) to O Teri (2014). It started with Veergati (1995).

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Veergati; the 2010s to O Teri. Atul Agnihotri actor in some, director in others. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Atul Agnihotri is married to Salman Khan's sister Alvira. That makes Salman his brother-in-law. They made these three films as family, not just colleagues.
  • Atul directed Salman in 'Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam' (2002) — his directorial debut. Salman agreed to star in it before Atul had even written a full script. He trusted his brother-in-law blindly.
  • On the set of 'Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa' (2004), Salman would often rewrite his own dialogues on the spot. Atul let him do it. He said Salman's instinct for massy one-liners was sharper than any writer's.
  • 'Hello' (2008) was based on Chetan Bhagat's novel 'One Night @ the Call Center'. Atul produced it, Salman did a cameo. That film directly led to Bhagat's other books being adapted — including '3 Idiots' and 'Kai Po Che!'.
  • Atul Agnihotri once said: 'Salman doesn't need a director. He needs someone who can catch his madness on camera. I just held the camera.'
