Nani & Murli Sharma Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s belonged to Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha; the 2020s to Shyam Singha Roy. Nani acted in every film; Murli Sharma acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Nani personally called Murli Sharma to offer him the role of the villain in Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha (2016). Murli was surprised because he usually got those calls from directors, not the lead actor.
• In Ninnu Kori (2017), Murli played a calm, mature husband opposite Nani's impulsive ex-boyfriend. Nani told an interviewer that Murli's stillness on set forced him to dial down his own energy — making their scenes feel more real than theatrical.
• On the sets of Shyam Singha Roy (2021), Murli improvised a line in Telugu with a slight Bengali accent for his character. Nani loved it so much that he asked the director to keep it, and it became a running gag in the film's second half.
• After wrapping Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, Murli started calling Nani 'Anna' (elder brother) as a joke — because Nani acted like the senior on set despite being younger. The nickname stuck, and they still use it in texts.
• "Nani doesn't just act with you — he directs you from across the frame. I learned to trust his instincts more than my own prep." — Murli Sharma, in a 2021 interview about Shyam Singha Roy.
