The Ajay & Naveen Chandra partnership
From Dalam (2013) to Super Over (2021). It started with Dalam (2013).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Dalam; the 2020s to Super Over. Ajay acted in every film; Naveen Chandra acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 1 film in Tamil.
Partnership facts
- Dalam (2013) was supposed to be a solo hero vehicle. The director saw Ajay and Naveen Chandra's audition together and rewrote the script into a two-hero film on the spot.
- In Koottam (2014), Ajay played the impulsive hothead while Naveen Chandra played the calm strategist. They deliberately swapped their real-life personalities — Ajay is the quieter one off-screen, Naveen is the louder one.
- Lacchimdeviki O Lekkundi (2016) was the first Telugu film to get a direct Tamil remake — the Tamil version 'Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal' (2020) was a sleeper hit and launched a new wave of buddy-heist films in Kollywood.
- During the shoot of Dalam, both actors shared a single room in a lodge for three months. They still call each other 'roomie' and meet for coffee every time they're in the same city.
- Naveen Chandra once said in an interview: 'Ajay is the only co-star who can finish my sentences on set. We don't rehearse — we just look at each other and know.'
