Jhansi & Priyadarshi Pullikonda Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Jhansi acted in every film; Priyadarshi Pullikonda acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Priyadarshi was the one who pushed Jhansi to take up the role of the loud, over-the-top sister-in-law in F2 (2019). She initially found the character too broad and said no. He convinced her it would be a laugh riot.
• In Brochevarevarura (2019), their scenes together had zero rehearsal. Jhansi would set the rhythm with her rapid-fire dialogue delivery, and Priyadarshi would react in real time, matching her beat for beat. The director said they worked like a jazz duo.
• The success of Mallesham (2019) — where they played a married couple — directly led to the casting of both actors in the anthology film Mithunam (2020). The producer saw their natural domestic chemistry and wanted them back as a pair.
• During the Mallesham shoot, Jhansi and Priyadarshi would eat lunch together every single day, sitting on the floor of the set. They never sat on chairs. Priyadarshi later said it was their way of staying grounded while playing a weaver couple.
• "She doesn't act. She just becomes the character. I had to work twice as hard to not look like a cardboard cutout next to her." — Priyadarshi Pullikonda, on working with Jhansi in Mallesham, in a 2019 interview with The Hindu.
