The Parineeti Chopra & Akshay Kumar partnership
From Dishoom (2016) to Mission Raniganj (2023). Their most recent film, Mission Raniganj, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. Kesari is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Dishoom (2016).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Kesari; the 2020s to Mission Raniganj. Parineeti Chopra acted in every film; Akshay Kumar acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Parineeti was not the first choice for Kesari. Akshay personally pushed for her after seeing her audition tape, convinced she could match the intensity of a war film.
- On the sets of Dishoom, Akshay would deliberately mess up his lines to make Parineeti laugh during serious takes. She said it broke her ice and made her loosen up in her first action-comedy.
- Akshay and Parineeti share a real-life mentor-mentee bond. He calls her 'Pari' and she calls him 'Akshay sir' even off-camera. She has said he gives her career advice that has nothing to do with their films.
- Parineeti said about Akshay after Kesari: 'He doesn't let you settle. He pushes you to be better every single take. That's why I love working with him.'
- Their pairing in Kesari directly led to Mission Raniganj. Akshay told the producers he wanted Parineeti again because he trusted her to play a real-life wife without melodrama — a role that got her noticed for more serious parts.
