Rajpal Yadav & Murli Sharma Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Chal Chala Chal; the 2010s to Mr Black Mr White. Rajpal Yadav acted in every film; Murli Sharma acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Rajpal Yadav and Murli Sharma first shared screen space in 'Chal Chala Chal' (2009) because the director, Rajkumar Kohli, specifically wanted two actors who could switch between comedy and menace without missing a beat. Kohli cast them as a bumbling duo after seeing their separate comic timing in earlier films.
• In 'Choron Ki Baraat' (2015), Yadav did most of the physical comedy while Sharma set the rhythm with deadpan reactions. Sharma told a behind-the-scenes crew that he learned to pause longer between lines because Yadav's face would already be doing the joke.
• During the shoot of 'Mr Black Mr White' (2019), the two actors shared a vanity van because the budget was tight. They ended up writing a short comedy sketch together in that van — it never got made, but they still joke about it at industry parties.
• Murli Sharma once said in an interview: 'With Rajpal, I don't need to rehearse. He'll do something unexpected, and I just react. That's our shortcut.'
• Their pairing in 'Chal Chala Chal' (2009) directly led to both being cast together again in a TV comedy pilot that same year — the pilot never aired, but it convinced producer Nitin Manmohan to greenlight 'Choron Ki Baraat' (2015) as a theatrical release.
