The Akshay Kumar & Randhir Kapoor partnership
From Housefull (2010) to Housefull 2 (2012). It started with Housefull (2010).
The shape of the work
Akshay Kumar acted in every film; Randhir Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Akshay personally called Randhir to offer him the role of his on-screen father in Housefull. Randhir was hesitant at first — he hadn't done a full comedy in years — but Akshay convinced him by saying the part was written just for him.
- On the sets of Action Replayy, Randhir kept breaking into his old-school dialogue delivery — loud and theatrical. Akshay would then deliberately flub his lines to make Randhir laugh, and the director had to shoot multiple takes because the two couldn't stop giggling.
- Their father-son pairing in Housefull was so well-liked that Sajid Khan wrote a bigger role for Randhir in Housefull 2 — turning his character into a central comic villain. That film then became the highest-grossing Housefull entry until Housefull 3.
- Randhir called Akshay 'baba' on set — a nickname he gave him after Akshay once showed up with a full beard and Randhir joked he looked like a sadhu. The name stuck through all three films.
- Randhir Kapoor said about Akshay: 'He is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I am not in the mood. On Housefull 2, I had a bad back, but he would do something silly and I'd forget the pain.'
