8 Popular Actor-Director Pairs Who Have Only Delivered Flop Films Together

Every calendar year sees a record number of Bollywood films hitting the silver-screen and trying to get maximum footfalls at the theatres. While some films go on to do record-breaking business at the ticket windows, some films are not so lucky and hardly gather any traction from the audiences. Still, India is a movie-crazy nation and the number of films releasing in a year is never going to be any less.

Once a film becomes successful, actor-director pairs often tend to do more films together and the producers don't mind spending extra money as the previous louting already resulted in huge profits. It is mostly on the fans' demand that we see popular actor-actresses pairing up together and same holds true for actor-director pairs. Still, some pairs are not so successful and whenever they do a film together, it flops at the box-office. Here are 8 such pairs:

Shirish Kunder-Akshay Kumar: The pair has worked in 2 films together, Joker and Jaanemann both of which were big flops at the box-office.

Suneil Shetty-Anees Bazmee: They have worked together in No Problem and Thank You both of which flopped at the box-office.

Sangeeth Sivan-Bobby Deol: They have worked together in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 and Ek: The Power of One both of which were massive flops.

Rajkumar Santoshi-Anil Kapoor: They have worked together in Lajja and Pukar both of which flopped at the box-office.

Sangeeth Sivan-Sunny Deol: They worked together in films like Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 and Zor both of which flopped at the box-office.

Rajkummar Rao-Hansal Mehta: They have made critically acclaimed films like Aligarh, Shahid and Citylights but all 3 flopped at the box-office.

Akshay Kumar-Nikhil Advani: They worked together in big flops like Chandni Chowk To China and Patiala House.

Raj-DK-Saif Ali Khan: They have worked together in films like Happy Ending and Go Goa Gone, both of which flopped at the box-office.
