Sanjay Mishra & Mukesh Tiwari Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Golmaal: Fun Unlimited; the 2010s to Dilwale. Sanjay Mishra acted in every film; Mukesh Tiwari acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Their double-act in Dilwale (2015) was so well-received that the film's action-comedy tone directly inspired a minor trend: for the next two years, at least three other Bollywood films cast real-life friends as bumbling cop duos, including the 2017 film 'Judwaa 2'.
• Mukesh Tiwari told a film magazine in 2016: 'Sanjay and I don't need to rehearse. We look at each other and we know what the other will do. That's why our scenes in Gandhigiri felt like a real argument, not acting.'
• In Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013), Sanjay Mishra and Mukesh Tiwari played a bumbling cop duo. Tiwari later admitted that Mishra kept breaking character with improvised one-liners, and the director had to do extra takes just to capture Tiwari's genuine laughter.
• Mukesh Tiwari once said in an interview that during the Dilwale (2015) shoot, he and Sanjay Mishra would share a room on outdoor schedules because both preferred chai over sleep. They'd stay up discussing old Hindi films instead of partying with the younger cast.
• The director of Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013) originally wanted two different actors for the comic sidekicks. Sanjay Mishra personally recommended Mukesh Tiwari after they had worked together in a theatre workshop years earlier. That recommendation got Tiwari the role.
