Long-Term Partnership

The Raj Babbar & Raza Murad partnership

After 11 years apart, they came back together for Fauji (1995). They didn't share a set between 1984 and 1995. Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema.

From Jeene Nahi Doonga (1984) to Bhola In Bollywood (2005). It started with Jeene Nahi Doonga (1984).

The shape of the work

The 1980s belonged to Jeene Nahi Doonga; the 2000s to Bhola In Bollywood. Raj Babbar acted in every film; Raza Murad acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Jeene Nahi Doonga (1984) was their first film together, but they almost didn't share a single scene. The director, Rajkumar Kohli, had to rewrite the climax to bring their characters face-to-face after test audiences demanded a confrontation between the two villains.
  • In Fauji (1995), Raj Babbar played the hero's father while Raza Murad played the villain. Babbar later admitted that Murad's theatrical, loud delivery forced him to underplay every reaction — making his quiet grief the most remembered part of the film.
  • Despite playing rivals on screen, Babbar and Murad were close friends off-screen. During the shoot of Bhola In Bollywood (2005), they would share a room on outdoor schedules and rehearse their lines together every morning — a habit they kept from their first film together.
  • Raza Murad once said in an interview: 'Babbar sahab and I never needed a director to tell us how to hate each other. We would just look at each other and the anger would come naturally — because off camera, we were always laughing.'
  • Their pairing in Jeene Nahi Doonga (1984) directly inspired the double-villain template in several Rajkumar Kohli multi-starrers that followed — including the iconic Naagin (1976) sequel, where Kohli again cast two heavyweights as joint antagonists.
