The Akshay Kumar & Sonakshi Sinha partnership
From Rowdy Rathore (2012) to Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024). Their most recent film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active. Mission Mangal is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Rowdy Rathore (2012).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 86% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Mission Mangal; the 2020s to Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Akshay Kumar acted in every film; Sonakshi Sinha acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Akshay Kumar personally called Sonakshi Sinha to offer her the lead in Rowdy Rathore (2012) after seeing her in Dabangg. She said yes without even reading the script.
- On the sets of Rowdy Rathore, Akshay would deliberately mess up his lines to make Sonakshi laugh during serious scenes. She said it helped her loosen up because she was nervous working with him.
- Sonakshi Sinha calls Akshay Kumar her 'guardian angel' in the industry. She said he personally taught her how to handle paparazzi and media interviews during the Rowdy Rathore promotions.
- The success of Rowdy Rathore (2012) directly led to a wave of massy, action-comedy remakes of South Indian films in Bollywood. Producers started aggressively buying Telugu and Tamil remake rights because of that film's 150+ crore haul.
- Sonakshi Sinha on working with Akshay in Holiday (2014): 'He doesn't let you get comfortable. He pushes you to be better every single take. That's why I love working with him.'
- In Mission Mangal (2019), Akshay deliberately took a backseat and gave Sonakshi the more dramatic, emotional scenes. He told the director to let her lead the climactic moments because he wanted the audience to see her range beyond comic timing.
