The Rajendra Prasad & Sivaji partnership
From Srirama Chandrulu (2003) to Ayyare (2012). It started with Srirama Chandrulu (2003).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Srirama Chandrulu; the 2010s to Ayyare. Rajendra Prasad acted in every film; Sivaji acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rajendra Prasad and Sivaji first shared screen space in 'Srirama Chandrulu' (2003) only because the director, K. Raghavendra Rao, wanted a seasoned comedian to balance Sivaji's intense debut. Prasad was the senior pro who agreed to play second fiddle to a newcomer.
- In 'Brahmalokam To Yamalokam' (2010), Rajendra Prasad played the straight man to Sivaji's over-the-top antics. Prasad later admitted in an interview that he had to deliberately underplay his reactions so Sivaji's loud comedy wouldn't feel like a solo act.
- During the shoot of 'Ayyare' (2012), Sivaji would often skip lunch to rehearse scenes with Prasad. Prasad once joked that Sivaji treated him like a 'walking acting school' and would follow him to his vanity van between shots.
- Rajendra Prasad said about Sivaji after 'Ayyare': 'He has the hunger of a newcomer even after 20 films. I had to match his energy, or he'd outshine me in every frame.'
- Their pairing in 'Srirama Chandrulu' (2003) directly led to Sivaji being cast in more multi-starrer comedies. Before this film, producers saw him only as a solo hero; after seeing him hold his own against Prasad, they started pairing him with senior comedians.
