Ajay Devgan and Rohit Shetty appeared together in 12 Hindi films between 2003 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006 — 6.9/10). Films span Zameen (2003) through Singham Again (2024).
The Ajay Devgan & Rohit Shetty partnership
Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. From Zameen (2003) to Singham Again (2024). Their most recent film, Singham Again, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
It started with Zameen (2003).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Golmaal: Fun Unlimited; the 2020s to Singham Again. Ajay Devgan acted in every film; Rohit Shetty directed all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rohit Shetty didn't want to cast Ajay Devgn in 'Golmaal: Fun Unlimited'. He thought Ajay was too intense for comedy. Ajay read the script, loved it, and convinced Rohit by saying he'd do it exactly as written — no star tantrums. That trust became the foundation of their 11-film run.
- On set, Rohit Shetty gave Ajay Devgn complete freedom to improvise dialogue. In 'Golmaal 3', Ajay ad-libbed the entire 'Maine kya kiya?' sequence in one take. Rohit kept it in the final cut because the crew was laughing too hard to do another take.
- Their 'Singham' (2011) rebooted the cop genre in Bollywood. Before that, no one was making massy, larger-than-life police films. After its success, every studio rushed to greenlight cop movies — including Rohit's own 'Simmba' and 'Sooryavanshi', which directly spun off from their partnership.
- Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty have a standing rule: no phone calls after 9 PM. Even during the shoot of 'Bol Bachchan', if Rohit called after 9, Ajay wouldn't pick up. Rohit once joked, 'He's the only actor who puts me on Do Not Disturb.'
- Rohit Shetty said in 2018: 'Ajay is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I'm angry. On the sets of 'Golmaal Again', I was furious about a lighting issue. He just looked at me and said, 'Boss, light toh aati hai, tension mat le.' I couldn't stay mad.'
