Sanjay Dutt & Farha Naaz Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 1980s belonged to Mohabbat Ke Dushman; the 1990s to Jeene Do. Sanjay Dutt acted in every film; Farha Naaz acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Farha Naaz was a rising star when she signed 'Imaandaar' (1987), but Sanjay Dutt was still fighting his 'Rocky' image. The director, S. A. Kader, paired them specifically to give Dutt a fresh, softer romantic lead — and it worked enough to greenlight four more films.
• In 'Mohabbat Ke Dushman' (1988), Sanjay Dutt played a double role — one a suave lover, the other a violent gangster. Farha Naaz only shared screen time with the lover version, and Dutt later admitted that her calm, non-judgmental presence on set helped him switch between the two characters without losing focus.
• During the shoot of 'Jeene Do' (1990), Sanjay Dutt was going through a rough patch personally. Farha Naaz would bring homemade food for him every day — a habit she continued through all their films together. They stayed in touch even after she quit acting in the late 1990s.
• Their 1990 film 'Khatarnaak' was the first Hindi movie to feature a scene where the hero and heroine sing a duet while riding a motorcycle — a trope that later became a staple in 90s Bollywood romances. The song 'Tumse Milke' was shot on a moving bike on Mumbai's Marine Drive.
• Farha Naaz once said in an interview: 'Sanju was the only co-star who never made me feel like a newcomer. He'd rehearse lines with me in the van before every shot, even when he was exhausted.'
