The Om Puri & Sanjay Mishra partnership
Between 2011 and 2016, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 5 years. They saved their best for last — Gandhigiri (4.7/10) came 5 years in. From Bin Bulaye Baraati (2011) to Gandhigiri (2016).
It started with Bin Bulaye Baraati (2011).
The shape of the work
Om Puri acted in every film; Sanjay Mishra acted in all of them. Mostly Hindi, with 1 film in Hindi .
Partnership facts
- Om Puri personally called Sanjay Mishra to offer him a role in 'Bin Bulaye Baraati' (2011). Sanjay later said he couldn't say no because Om was his idol since NSD days.
- In 'Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho' (2015), Om Puri played the sarpanch while Sanjay Mishra played a corrupt clerk. They shot the entire climax in one take because both kept feeding each other improvised lines — the director just let the camera roll.
- On the sets of 'Choron Ki Baraat' (2015), Om Puri and Sanjay Mishra shared a room during outdoor schedules. Sanjay would make tea for Om every morning because Om's blood pressure was acting up and he couldn't have chai from the canteen.
- Sanjay Mishra said about Om Puri: 'He never treated me like a junior artist. On the set of Bin Bulaye Baraati, he'd ask me, 'Beta, kya lagta hai is scene mein?' That respect — you don't get that from everyone.'
- After 'Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho' (2015), the director Vishal Mishra cast Sanjay Mishra in his next film 'Kaun? Who Did It?' specifically because he saw how Sanjay could hold his own against a heavyweight like Om Puri — that film launched Sanjay into a new phase of lead roles.
