We show that effective interactions mediated by disorder between two directed polymers can be modelled as the crosscorrelation of noises in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equations satisfied by the respective free energies of these polymers. When there are two polymers, disorder introduces attractive interactions between them. We analyze the phase diagram in details and show that these interactions lead to new phases in the phase diagram. We show that, even in dimension $d=1$, the two directed polymers see the attraction only if the strength of the disorder potential exceeds a threshold value. We extend our calculations to show that if there are $m$ polymers in the system then $m$-body interactions are generated in the disorder averaged effective free energy.
