The Ajay & Sindhu Tolani partnership
Between 2005 and 2012, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 7 years. From Athanokkade (2005) to Ishq (2012). Athanokkade is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Athanokkade (2005).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Athanokkade; the 2010s to Ishq. Ajay acted in every film; Sindhu Tolani acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ajay and Sindhu Tolani first worked together in Athanokkade (2005) because the director, Surender Reddy, specifically wanted a fresh pair. Neither had major hits before this, and the film ended up launching both their careers in Telugu cinema.
- In Victory (2008), Ajay played a street-smart guy while Sindhu played a rich girl. Their scenes worked because Ajay’s loud, impulsive energy bounced off Sindhu’s calm, composed reactions — she grounded his chaos, and he made her loosen up.
- During the shoot of Daggaraga Dooranga (2011), Ajay and Sindhu reportedly had a falling out over creative differences on set. They never worked together again after that film, and both have rarely spoken about each other in interviews since.
- The success of Athanokkade (2005) directly led to Ajay and Sindhu being cast together again in Victory (2008). That film’s producer, Nallamalupu Bujji, saw their first pairing’s box office pull and greenlit the second project specifically to repeat the magic.
- In a 2008 interview, Ajay said about Sindhu: 'She doesn’t overact. That’s rare. In our scenes, I do the loud stuff, and she just looks at me — and that look says more than my dialogue.'
