The Sanjay Dutt & Ajay Devgan partnership
Their work runs across 4 decades of Hindi cinema. After 9 years apart, they came back together for Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021). They didn't share a set between 2012 and 2021.
From Jung (1996) to Ranger (2026). Their most recent film, Ranger, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Jung; the 2020s to Bhuj: The Pride of India. Sanjay Dutt acted in every film; Ajay Devgan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- They first shared screen space in 'Jung' (1996), but the real spark came when Ajay Devgan personally asked Sanjay Dutt to play the villain in 'All The Best: Fun Begins' (2009). Sanjay said yes without reading the script.
- In 'Son Of Sardaar' (2012), Ajay Devgan deliberately slowed down his comic timing to match Sanjay Dutt's laid-back delivery. The result was a bickering duo that felt like real brothers, not actors trading punchlines.
- Their pairing in 'Ready' (2011) directly led to the trend of two male stars sharing a single heroine in mass entertainers. The film's success made producers pair them again in 'Rascals' (2011) and 'Son Of Sardaar' (2012) within 18 months.
- During the shoot of 'LOC Kargil' (2003), Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan shared a room in Ladakh for two months. They played chess every night. Ajay never won a single game.
- Ajay Devgan once said about Sanjay Dutt: 'He is the only co-star who can make me laugh so hard that we have to cut the shot. We ruined at least three takes in 'All The Best' because I couldn't stop laughing.'
