Riteish Deshmukh & Jacqueline Fernandez Movies Together List — 10 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Aladin; the 2020s to Raid 2. Riteish Deshmukh acted in every film; Jacqueline Fernandez acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

• Riteish Deshmukh personally recommended Jacqueline Fernandez for the role of Jasmine in 'Housefull 2' after she auditioned but the producers weren't sure. He told Sajid Khan she had the comic timing the part needed. That film became her biggest hit at the time.
• On the set of 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai', Riteish realized Jacqueline was nervous about her Hindi lines. He started feeding her the dialogues in a funny sing-song voice right before every take. She relaxed, and they kept that warm-up ritual for all their films together.
• Their pairing in 'Housefull' (2010) directly led to the 'Housefull' franchise becoming a recurring home for both. Without their comic chemistry in the first film, the sequels might not have kept the same ensemble energy. They are the only pair to appear in all four 'Housefull' films.
• During the shooting of 'Bangistan' (2015), Riteish and Jacqueline would sneak out between takes to play table tennis on a broken table the crew had set up. They kept a running score across the entire schedule. Riteish won by 11 points.
• Jacqueline said in a 2019 interview: 'Riteish is the only co-star who has seen me mess up a line, laugh, then mess it up again on purpose just to make me laugh harder. He doesn't let me take myself seriously.'
• In 'Bachchhan Paandey' (2022), Riteish deliberately slowed down his comic delivery in their scenes together. He told Jacqueline to speed up her lines instead. The mismatch created a frantic, offbeat rhythm that made their argument scene the funniest in the film.
