The combined brilliance of actor siblings has always fueled the Hindi cinema business, whether it is Chetan, Vijay, and Dev Anand or Raj, Shammi, and Shashi Kapoor, Mehmood, and Minoo Mumtaz, Nargis, and Anwar Hussain, Anil, Boney, and Sanjay Kapoor, or Karisma, and Kareena Kapoor. Here is a highlight the creative partnerships that have given us some of the most remarkable cinematic experiences during Raksha Bandhan.
Zoya Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar
While Zoya made a significant impact with her debut film, Luck By Chance (2009), Farhan Akhtar made his debut as a director with Dil Chahta Hai in 2001. Farhan stepped in and his production business, Excel Entertainment, also produced the movie after other celebrities turned down the main part. Farhan’s Excel Entertainment continues to finance Zoya’s films like Gully Boy (2019) and the two seasons of Made in Heaven even though she now runs her own business, Tiger Baby.
Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Sharma
Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh Sharma established Clean Slate Filmz, an independent production company, in 2013. Since then, the company has produced films including NH10, Phillauri, Pari, and Paatal Lok as well as Bulbbul, Mai: A Mother’s Rage, and Qala for Netflix. Anushka departed Clean Slate Filmz in 2022, but her performance as cricketer Jhulan Goswami in the sports biography Chakda ‘Xpress will be the film’s main attraction.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Aparshakti Khurana
The multi-talented Chandigarh guys are the prototypical outsiders who, by sheer determination, have established a name for themselves in the Hindi film business. Ayushmann Khurrana gained notoriety in 2004 with the second season of MTV Roadies and made his acting debut in Vicky Donor in 2012. Films like Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Badhaai Ho, Andhadhun, and Article 15 have won a National Film Award and four Filmfare Awards. Aparshakti served as the captain of the Haryana U-19 Cricket Team before transitioning into the radio and television presenter professions. Before taking the lead in Helmet in 2021 and the most recent film, Jubilee, he had playing parts in Dangal (2016), Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Stree, and other films.
Akarsh Khurana and Adhaar Khurana
Adhaar is an actor, writer, and director in addition to being the creator of Akvarious Productions, despite the fact that he originally studied forensic science in Glasgow. In addition, Adhaar assisted Akarsh in directing his 2018 feature Karwaan, and the two also co-founded Troika Productions. Adhaar recently performed in the Zed Theatre production of Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti, and the two also collaborated on the teleplay Dhumrapaan. Rashmi Rocket, a film starring Taapsee Pannu, was directed by Akarsh.
Vicky Kaushal and Sunny Kaushal

He later had major successes with songs like Uri, Raazi, Sardar Udham, and Zara Hatke. Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw will be the subject of a biopic starring Zara Bachke as Sam Bahadur. In the 2014 film Gunday, Sunny served as an assistant director. He has just lately appeared in significant roles in films like Gold, Shiddat, and Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga.
