Sunny Deol, Sridevi: 3 Films, 2 Flops, 1 Superhit Despite No Talk

• Sunny Deol and Sridevi co-starred in three films released in 1989: Joshilaay, Nigahen, and ChaalBaaz.
• Despite their on-screen pairing, the actors reportedly barely spoke to each other during filming.
• Joshilaay and Nigahen flopped at the box office, with Nigahen being a sequel to the hit Nagina.
• ChaalBaaz, a Sridevi-centric film also starring Rajinikanth, became a superhit and one of 1989's highest-grossing films.
• Sunny Deol found Sridevi's quiet nature and spontaneous improvisation challenging, while director Pankaj Parashar recalled an incident where Deol left the set upset.

Why It Matters: On-screen chemistry doesn't always reflect off-screen rapport; Sunny Deol and Sridevi's films prove it.
