Sobhita Dhulipala & Saiee Manjrekar Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Sobhita Dhulipala acted in every film; Saiee Manjrekar acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

• They never actually shared a single scene together in Major. Their characters exist in different timelines of the same story — Sobhita plays the wife of a soldier, Saiee plays his sister. They only met on set during the wrap party.
• Because they had no scenes together, their only on-screen connection is through the male lead. Sobhita’s emotional weight and Saiee’s youthful energy had to feel like two halves of the same family without ever looking at each other. The director said they rehearsed their individual scenes separately to keep that distance intentional.
• During the Major shoot, Sobhita and Saiee shared a vanity van because the production was running on a tight budget. They ended up bonding over their shared love for old Telugu songs and would play them between takes.
• Saiee said in a 2022 interview: 'I didn't get to work with Sobhita di in Major, but I watched her scenes from the monitor every day. She taught me how to cry without making it look like you're trying.'
