The Ajay Devgan & Tusshar Kapoor partnership
From Khakee (2004) to Golmaal Again (2017). It started with Khakee (2004).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 71% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Khakee; the 2010s to Golmaal Again. Ajay Devgan acted in every film; Tusshar Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ajay Devgn personally recommended Tusshar Kapoor for the role of the mute goon in Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006). Director Rohit Shetty originally wanted a different actor, but Ajay insisted Tusshar's deadpan face was perfect for the part.
- In Golmaal 3 (2010), Ajay and Tusshar improvised the entire 'Lucky and Gopal' slapstick fight sequence on set. Rohit Shetty let the camera roll for 20 minutes while they kept inventing new gags — the final cut used only their unscripted takes.
- The Ajay-Tusshar pairing in Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006) directly launched the 'mute sidekick' trope in Bollywood comedies. Every major comedy franchise after that — from Housefull to Dhamaal — copied the formula of a silent, physically comic character paired with a straight man.
- Ajay Devgn and Tusshar Kapoor have a standing rule: they never discuss work outside the set. In 17 years of friendship, they've never once called each other about a script — all their collaborations happened because they met on set and said yes on the spot.
- Tusshar Kapoor said in 2017: 'Ajay is the only actor who can make me laugh without saying a word. On Golmaal sets, he'd just look at me a certain way and I'd break character. Rohit had to cut 40% of our scenes because we couldn't stop laughing.'
- In Khakee (2004), Ajay played a ruthless cop and Tusshar played a timid IT engineer. Director Rajkumar Santoshi deliberately cast them against their Golmaal-type personas — Ajay had to intimidate Tusshar in every scene, and Tusshar's real-life nervousness around Ajay made the fear look authentic.
