The Sanjay Mishra & Aftab Shivdasani partnership
From Aloo Chaat (2009) to Great Grand Masti (2016). It started with Aloo Chaat (2009).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Aloo Chaat; the 2010s to Great Grand Masti. Sanjay Mishra acted in every film; Aftab Shivdasani acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Aftab Shivdasani personally called Sanjay Mishra to offer him the role in Aloo Chaat (2009). Sanjay was surprised because they had never met before. Aftab had seen his work and insisted the director cast him.
- On the sets of Bin Bulaye Baraati (2011), Sanjay Mishra would deliberately flub his lines to make Aftab break character. Aftab would then retaliate by improvising ridiculous dance moves mid-scene. The director kept rolling because the outtakes were funnier than the script.
- After Great Grand Masti (2016) bombed, Sanjay Mishra told Aftab Shivdasani that they should never do a film together again unless it was a completely original script. Aftab agreed. They haven't worked together since.
- "Aftab is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I'm angry. He has that childlike mischief. I told him, 'Yaar, tumhare saath kaam karte hue main apna control kho deta hoon.'"
- Their pairing in Aloo Chaat (2009) directly led to the casting of Sanjay Mishra in the hit comedy series 'Office Office' — the show's producer saw their chemistry and offered Sanjay a lead role. Aftab never got a credit for that, but Sanjay has said it was his film with Aftab that opened that door.
