The Tamannaah Bhatia & Murli Sharma partnership
Between 2016 and 2019, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 3 years. 2016 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. From Devi (2016) to Devi 2 (2019).
It started with Devi (2016).
The shape of the work
Tamannaah Bhatia acted in every film; Murli Sharma acted in all of them. Mostly Tamil, with 1 film in Telugu.
Partnership facts
- They made three films together in a single year (2016) — Devi, Abhinetri, and Tutak Tutak Tutiya — making them one of the most frequently paired actor-actress duos in Tamil cinema that year.
- In Devi (2016), Tamannaah played a possessed woman while Murli played her terrified husband — the scene where she chases him around the house with a knife became a meme template in Tamil social media for years.
- Their 2019 sequel Devi 2 was declared a 'Hit' at the box office, making them the only actor-actress pair in Tamil horror-comedy to deliver a successful franchise with two films.
- Murli Sharma once said in an interview: 'Tamannaah is the only co-star who made me genuinely laugh during horror scenes — we'd break character every take in Devi.'
- In Tutak Tutak Tutiya (2016), their on-screen chemistry as a bickering couple was so natural that fans started a hashtag #TamannaahMurliJodi on Twitter, trending for a day in Chennai.
- They are the only actor-actress pair to have three Tamil releases in the same calendar year (2016) across two languages — Tamil and Telugu — with the same director (A.L. Vijay).
