Arjun Rampal & Ajay Devgan Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Arjun Rampal acted in every film; Ajay Devgan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Raajneeti (2010), Ajay Devgn’s character Prithviraj was written as the quiet, coiled spring. Arjun Rampal’s Suraj was the loud, impulsive foil. Devgn told Rampal to play every scene like he was about to lose control — that contrast made their face-off in the climax land so hard.
• During the shoot of Rascals (2011), Arjun Rampal and Ajay Devgn shared a vanity van for the entire schedule. They’d play chess between takes. Rampal later said Devgn never let him win once — not even a single game.
• Arjun Rampal on Ajay Devgn, during a 2013 interview: 'He’s the only co-star who’ll call me at 2 a.m. to discuss a scene. And then not pick up the phone the next day.'
• Their pairing in Raajneeti (2010) directly inspired the casting of two male leads with opposing physical energies in the 2012 political thriller Chakravyuh. The director Prakash Jha admitted in a press meet that he wanted to 'recreate that Arjun-Ajay tension' with Arjun Rampal and Abhay Deol.
• Ajay Devgn personally called Arjun Rampal to offer him the role of Suraj in Raajneeti (2010). Rampal was initially hesitant because the character was a violent, morally grey gangster. Devgn told him: 'If you don't do it, I'll play it myself.' That sealed the deal.
