7 Actor-Director Jodis That Work Magic At The Box Office

They say that some pairs are made in heaven and going by the immense success that these Actor-Director duos receive on the release Fridays, these were definitely made up there.

1) Ranveer Singh - Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Ranveer’s career went on an all-time high soon after Ram Leela, which is where their incredible compatibility came to light. Bajirao Mastani happened and voila, Ranveer won the Filmfare for the Best Actor! If the rumours are to believed then the duo is coming back with ‘Padmavati’ and we couldn’t be happier!

2) Aamir Khan - Rajkumar Hirani

Only Rajkumar Hirani could’ve successfully portrayed a 40-years-old Aamir as a college boy and only Aamir could’ve done complete justice to it. After the immense success of 3 Idiots, they reunited for P.K. where they worked their magic once again. It's safe to say that when it comes to the Aamir - Rajkumar partnership, All Is Well (at the box office)! 

3) Shahid Kapoor - Vishal Bhardwaj

Kaminey, directed by Vishal, came as a blessing in disguise for Shahid Kapoor back when he was struggling to find good roles. And years later, they came back for Haider which is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful performances of Shahid so far! Vishal brings out the best in Shahid and we love this duo for that. 

4) Salman Khan - Kabir Khan

Salman and Kabir’s partnership started with Ek Tha Tiger. The audience loved their work and they came together yet again for Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which happens to be one of the highest grossing Bollywood films of all time! They will be reuniting for Tubelight, which has already created a lot of buzz in the press. 

5) Ranbir Kapoor - Imtiaz Ali

Rockstar was a film which showed us a completely different side of Ranbir, far from the classic chocolate-boy image that he had carried with him for a long time. Tamasha was another path-breaking film which earned accolades from critics as well as the audiences. It’s safe to say that whenever Imtiaz and Ranbir pair up for a film, the product is always a charmer! 

6) Shahrukh Khan - Farah Khan

It all started with Main Hoon Na, which was Farah’s directorial debut. The audiences loved the film and together, they hit the box office yet again with Om Shanti Om which managed to rule theatres for quite a long time. But the same couldn’t be said about Happy New Year. Well, you win some and you lose some. 

7) Akshay Kumar - Neeraj Pandey

Neeraj Pandey had already made his mark as a revered director with ‘A Wednesday’. When they paired up for Special 26, the audiences were wowed, to say the least, and they worked the same magic with Baby. You guys need to come back for another movie SOON! 

Keep them blockbusters coming, guys!
