Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-07-12 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Ajay and Vennila appeared together in 6 Telugu films between 2021 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Rules Ranjann (2023 — 7.1/10). Films span Sashi (2021) through Jetlee (2026).
The Ajay & Vennila partnership
Between 2021 and 2026, they barely worked apart — 6 films in 5 years. For 5 years, a Ajay–Vennila film arrived almost every year. From Sashi (2021) to Jetlee (2026).
Their most recent film, Jetlee, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. Rules Ranjann is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
Ajay acted in every film; Vennila acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ajay and Vennila first worked together in Sashi (2021) because the director needed a fresh pair — both were relatively new to lead roles at the time, and the casting director paired them after a single look test.
- In Rules Ranjann (2023), Vennila’s natural comic timing pushed Ajay to loosen up his delivery — he later said she made him stop overthinking his lines in romantic scenes.
- During the shoot of Bhairavam (2025), Ajay and Vennila barely spoke off-camera — sources say the tension from the film’s poor script and constant reshoots strained their otherwise friendly rapport from the earlier films.
- Vennila told a Telugu daily after Rules Ranjann: 'Ajay is the only co-star who remembers everyone’s coffee order on set — he made sure I never had to ask.'
- Their pairing in Rules Ranjann (2023) directly led to the director casting them again in Bhairavam (2025) — but the sequel flopped so badly that no producer has approached them as a pair since.
