Vivek Oberoi & Dia Mirza Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Kurbaan; the 2000s to Shootout at Lokhandwala. Vivek Oberoi acted in every film; Dia Mirza acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Vivek Oberoi and Dia Mirza first met on the set of 'Kurbaan' (1991) — but here's the twist: Dia was just a child actor in that film, playing a small role. They didn't actually work together as adults until 'Dum' (2003), where they were cast as the lead pair for the first time.
• In 'Kyun...! Ho Gaya Na' (2004), Vivek and Dia had to shoot a romantic song sequence in heavy rain. Dia later said Vivek kept cracking jokes between takes to keep her from shivering — and that unscripted laughter made it into the final cut.
• During the making of 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' (2007), Vivek and Dia would often grab chai together between scenes. Dia later revealed in an interview that Vivek would rehearse his intense monologues with her first, using her reactions to tweak his delivery.
• Dia Mirza once said about Vivek: 'He has this energy that makes you want to be better. On the set of Dum, he'd push me to improvise lines, and I'd push him to slow down. We balanced each other out.'
• Their pairing in 'Dum' (2003) was one of the first times a mainstream Bollywood action film cast a female lead who wasn't just a love interest — Dia's character had her own arc, which later inspired similar roles in films like 'Jism' (2003) and 'Murder' (2004).
