Anushka Sharma & Ranbir Kapoor Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

Anushka Sharma acted in every film; Ranbir Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Anushka Sharma was the one who pushed for Ranbir Kapoor to be cast in 'Bombay Velvet' (2015). She convinced director Anurag Kashyap that Ranbir was the right fit for the lead, even though Kashyap had other actors in mind.
• In 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' (2016), Ranbir Kapoor improvised the entire 'Alizeh' song sequence where he drunkenly dances with Anushka. She matched his chaotic energy beat-for-beat, and director Karan Johar kept the first take because their sync was that wild.
• During the making of 'Bombay Velvet', Anushka and Ranbir would have dinner together almost every night after shoot. They bonded over their shared love for old Hindi film music and would often play songs from the 1960s on set.
• Ranbir Kapoor said about Anushka: 'She is the most secure actor I have worked with. She never competes with you on set. She just makes you better.' He said this during the promotions of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'.
• Their pairing in 'Sanju' (2018) directly led to the casting of Ranbir and Anushka in the biopic 'Dutt' (2017) — which was originally a separate project. The director of 'Dutt' saw their on-screen chemistry in 'Bombay Velvet' rushes and signed them both without a screen test.
• In 'Sanju', Anushka played the real-life wife of Ranbir's character. She deliberately stayed in character off-camera during the hospital scenes, speaking to him in a soft, worried tone. Ranbir later said that her method approach made him cry in a scene that wasn't supposed to be emotional.
