The Hansika Motwani & Vennela Kishore partnership
From Luckkunnodu (2017) to Tenali Ramakrishna BABL (2019). It started with Luckkunnodu (2017).
The shape of the work
Hansika Motwani acted in every film; Vennela Kishore acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Luckkunnodu (2017), Vennela Kishore’s deadpan delivery forced Hansika to speed up her comic timing. She later said she had to unlearn her usual rhythm to match his pauses.
- During the shoot of Tenali Ramakrishna BABL (2019), Hansika and Kishore would rehearse their scenes in a corner of the set while the crew set up lights. They never used the monitor — they trusted each other’s face instead.
- They first met on the sets of Luckkunnodu (2017) because the director wanted a fresh comic pair. Hansika had just come off a hit with a different comedian; the director bet on Kishore’s understated style to balance her energy.
- Their pairing in NTR Kathanayakudu (2019) was so brief (just one scene) that fans started a meme trend on Twitter asking for a full-length comedy film with just the two of them. No such film was ever made.
- Hansika told a Telugu daily in 2019: 'Kishore doesn't try to make you laugh. He just stands there and I end up laughing. That's his magic.'
