Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Samuthirakani and Rohini appeared together in 5 Telugu films between 2016 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Ala Vaikunthapuramulo (2020 — 7.4/10). Films span Achamindri (2016) through Oka Manchi Prema Katha (2024).
The Samuthirakani & Rohini partnership
Between 2016 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 8 years. From Achamindri (2016) to Oka Manchi Prema Katha (2024). Their most recent film, Oka Manchi Prema Katha, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
Ala Vaikunthapuramulo is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Achamindri (2016).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Achamindri ; the 2020s to Ala Vaikunthapuramulo. Samuthirakani acted in every film; Rohini acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 2 films in Tamil.
Partnership facts
- Rohini was the one who pushed Samuthirakani to cast her in Achamindri (2016). She read the script and called him directly, saying she had to play that mother role. He later admitted he hadn't even thought of her initially.
- In Goli Soda 2 (2018), Samuthirakani deliberately slowed down his usual rapid-fire dialogue delivery to match Rohini's measured, emotional rhythm. He told the crew he wanted their scenes to breathe, not race. The result was the film's most talked-about mother-son confrontation.
- Their pairing in Ala Vaikunthapuramulo (2020) directly inspired the casting of another real-life couple — Rohini and Samuthirakani's on-screen warmth made director Trivikram insist they play parents again in Bro (2023), even though the script originally had different actors in mind.
- They have a standing ritual before every scene together: Samuthirakani touches Rohini's feet, and she blesses him. He started it during Achamindri because she plays his mother on screen, and they've never broken it since — even during the comedy scenes in Bro.
- Rohini said in a 2023 interview: 'Samuthirakani doesn't act with me — he becomes my son. I don't have to perform; I just react to him. That's why we keep working together.'
