The Murali Sharma & Srikanth Iyengar partnership
Between 2021 and 2026, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 5 years. For 5 years, a Murali–Srikanth film arrived almost every year. From Chaavu Kaburu Challaga (2021) to S. Saraswathi (2026).
Their most recent film, S. Saraswathi, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. It started with Chaavu Kaburu Challaga (2021).
The shape of the work
Murali Sharma acted in every film; Srikanth Iyengar acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Srikanth Iyengar was the one who suggested Murali Sharma for the role of the strict father in 'Chaavu Kaburu Challaga' (2021). The director was initially looking for a younger actor, but Iyengar insisted Sharma could pull off the age and authority.
- In 'Kushi' (2023), Murali Sharma and Srikanth Iyengar played father and son-in-law. Sharma deliberately slowed his dialogue delivery in their scenes together, forcing Iyengar to match his rhythm. The result was a tense, layered silence that became the scene's signature.
- On the sets of 'Chaavu Kaburu Challaga', the two discovered they share the same hometown — Machilipatnam. They now make it a point to have a meal of Pulihora together on every film's first day of shoot.
- "Murali doesn't act. He just shows up and the character shows up. I have to work twice as hard to keep up with him." — Srikanth Iyengar, in a 2023 interview about their 'Kushi' scenes.
- Their father-son-in-law dynamic in 'Kushi' (2023) was so well-received that the director of 'S. Saraswathi' (2026) specifically wrote a new subplot for them — a flashback sequence that wasn't in the original script — just to get them on screen together again.
