The Rohit Shetty & Kareena Kapoor partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Singham Again (2024). They didn't share a set between 2014 and 2024. Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema.
From Golmaal Returns (2008) to Singham Again (2024). Their most recent film, Singham Again, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Golmaal Returns; the 2020s to Singham Again. Rohit Shetty directed every film; Kareena Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Kareena was not the first choice for Golmaal Returns. Rohit Shetty originally wanted a different actress, but Kareena called him directly and said, 'I want to be in this film.' He rewrote the female lead to fit her energy.
- On the sets of Golmaal 3, Rohit realized Kareena was the only actor who could match his chaotic comic timing without breaking character. He told her, 'You don't act — you react. That's why you're my lucky charm.'
- Their Singham Returns (2014) directly inspired the 'item song' trend in cop films. The track 'Sunny Sunny' became a template — every major action film after that wanted a peppy dance number with a top heroine, not just a background dancer.
- During Golmaal 3, Kareena would bring homemade biryani for the entire crew every Friday. Rohit Shetty still jokes that he kept casting her just for the biryani.
- Rohit Shetty once said about Kareena: 'She is the only actress who can make me laugh even when I'm angry on set. She'd just look at me and I'd forget the shot.'
