Partnership facts

• In Sunday (2008), Mukesh Tiwari played the menacing gangster while Murli Sharma was the comic sidekick. Their scenes together worked because Tiwari kept a straight face no matter how hard Sharma tried to make him laugh — Sharma later admitted he deliberately broke character to get Tiwari to crack up on set.
• During the shoot of Chor Bazaari (2015), the two actors shared a vanity van for three weeks. They spent nights rewriting each other's dialogue in Hindi and Marathi, blending both languages into their scenes — a habit they picked up from their theatre days in Mumbai.
• They first met on the set of Sunday (2008) when director Rohit Shetty paired them together. Shetty told them both: 'You two look like you've been fighting for years — just keep that energy.' Neither had worked together before, but Shetty cast them specifically to create a tense, unspoken rivalry on screen.
• Their double-act in Dilwale (2015) — Tiwari as the silent brute and Sharma as the loudmouth — directly inspired the casting of two lesser-known actors in a 2017 web series called 'The Final Call'. The showrunner said in an interview he wanted 'that same odd-couple menace' he saw in their Dilwale scenes.
• Murli Sharma said in a 2016 interview: 'Mukesh and I never rehearsed. We'd just look at each other and start. He knows exactly when to pause so I can jump in. That's why our scenes feel like a real fight — because we're actually fighting for the beat.'
