Long-Term Partnership

The Ravi Kishan & Dharmendra partnership

After 18 years apart, they came back together for Second Hand Husband (2015). They didn't share a set between 1997 and 2015. From Aathank (1996) to Second Hand Husband (2015).

It started with Aathank (1996).

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Agni Morcha; the 2010s to Second Hand Husband. Ravi Kishan acted in every film; Dharmendra acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

  • Dharmendra was already a legend when Ravi Kishan was a newcomer. For Aathank (1996), Kishan landed the role because he could do his own stunts — something the older star insisted on for authenticity.
  • In Agni Morcha (1997), Dharmendra played the stoic, silent action hero while Ravi Kishan did all the loud, comic relief. Kishan later said he learned to time his punchlines by watching Dharmendra's deadpan reactions on set.
  • After Agni Morcha flopped, the two didn't speak for nearly a decade. They only reunited for Second Hand Husband (2015) because the director, Smeep Kang, personally brokered a peace meeting at a dhaba in Chandigarh.
  • Ravi Kishan once said in an interview: 'Dharam ji taught me that a hero doesn't need to shout. He just needs to stand still and let the camera find him.'
  • Their only hit together, Aathank (1996), was one of the first Hindi films to feature a Bhojpuri folk song in its soundtrack — a move that directly inspired Ravi Kishan to later launch his own Bhojpuri film career.
