The Kareena Kapoor & Diljit Dosanjh partnership
From Udta Punjab (2016) to Crew (2024). Their most recent film, Crew, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active. Udta Punjab is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Udta Punjab (2016).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Udta Punjab; the 2020s to Crew. Kareena Kapoor acted in every film; Diljit Dosanjh acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- For Udta Punjab, Kareena was the one who pushed for Diljit to be cast. She had seen his work in Punjabi cinema and told director Abhishek Chaubey, 'He's the guy.' Chaubey wasn't sure initially — Diljit wasn't a Hindi film star yet. Kareena insisted.
- In Good Newwz, Diljit's comic timing was so sharp that Kareena started deliberately breaking character mid-scene just to laugh. Director Raj Mehta had to do multiple takes because Kareena couldn't keep a straight face. She later said Diljit's delivery was 'unbearably funny'.
- On the sets of Crew, Diljit would cook Punjabi food for the entire cast every Sunday. Kareena called him 'the real chef of the unit' and said she gained 3 kilos during the shoot because of his butter chicken.
- Kareena on Diljit after Udta Punjab: 'He doesn't act. He just becomes the character. I've never seen anyone switch from being a goofball on set to a broken man in front of the camera so fast.'
- Their pairing in Udta Punjab directly led to Diljit getting his first major Bollywood solo lead in the 2017 film Phillauri. The producers saw the audience's reaction to his chemistry with Kareena and greenlit the project.
