The Dharmendra & Arman Kohli partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Virodhi (1992). They didn't share a set between 1982 and 1992. From Badle Ki Aag (1982) to Veer (1995).
It started with Badle Ki Aag (1982). The unfolded closed with Veer in 1995.
The shape of the work
The 1990s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1980s belonged to Badle Ki Aag; the 1990s to Veer. Dharmendra acted in every film; Arman Kohli acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Dharmendra personally pushed for Arman Kohli to be cast in 'Virodhi' (1992). He saw something in the newcomer and told the director to take a chance on him.
- In 'Veer' (1995), Dharmendra deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery so Arman Kohli's lines wouldn't feel rushed. He wanted the younger actor to hold his own in their scenes together.
- During the shoot of 'Juaari' (1994), Dharmendra would invite Arman Kohli to his vanity van every morning. They'd share chai and go over the day's scenes together — no one else was allowed in.
- Arman Kohli once said in an interview: 'Dharamji treated me like his own son on set. He never made me feel like a junior artist.'
- Their pairing in 'Virodhi' (1992) was one of the first times a veteran superstar deliberately shared equal screen space with a newcomer in a negative role — a template later used by Amitabh Bachchan with Akshay Kumar in 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' (1996).
- Arman Kohli was originally signed for a different film with Dharmendra, but that project got shelved. Dharmendra then insisted they work together in 'Virodhi' (1992) instead — he didn't want to lose the chance to act with him.
