Salman Khan & Amitabh Bachchan Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Biwi No.1; the 2020s to Maatrubhumi. Salman Khan acted in every film; Amitabh Bachchan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Baghban (2003) was the first time they shared screen space. Director Ravi Chopra had to convince a reluctant Amitabh to play Salman's father — Big B was only 13 years older than Salman in real life.
• In Baabul (2006), Salman played Amitabh's son-in-law. The emotional weight of the film rested on their scenes together — Amitabh deliberately slowed his dialogue delivery so Salman's more raw, instinctive style could land without being overshadowed.
• During Baghban's shoot, Salman would quietly sit and watch Amitabh rehearse his lines alone. Years later, Salman admitted he learned more about screen presence from those silent observations than from any acting workshop.
• "He is the only co-star who made me nervous. Not because he's a star — because he never tries to act. You have to match that honesty." — Amitabh Bachchan on Salman Khan, during Baabul promotions.
• God Tussi Great Ho (2008) was a box-office disaster, but it accidentally created a meme template: Salman's character praying to God (Amitabh) for help. The scene is still used on Indian social media for 'when you ask your dad for money' jokes.
