The Rakul Preet Singh & Sampath Raj partnership
Between 2014 and 2021, they barely worked apart — 6 films in 7 years. For 7 years, a Rakul–Sampath film arrived almost every year. From Loukyam (2014) to Check (2021).
Loukyam is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Loukyam (2014).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Loukyam; the 2020s to Check. Rakul Preet Singh acted in every film; Sampath Raj acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- In Loukyam (2014), Sampath Raj was cast as the main villain opposite Rakul Preet Singh's heroine. The director, Srinivasa Reddy, specifically wanted a fresh pairing for the antagonist-heroine track, and this was the first time they shared screen space in Telugu.
- In Rarandoi Veduka Chudham (2017), Sampath Raj played a possessive brother-in-law to Rakul's character. Their scenes together were built on tension — she had to show fear and defiance, while he had to be menacing without being loud. Rakul later said in an interview that Sampath's calm intensity made her acting easier because she didn't have to overreact.
- NGK (2019) was a surprise hit at the box office, and their pairing as political rivals (Rakul as the fiery journalist, Sampath as the corrupt politician) became a template for Telugu political dramas that followed. At least two smaller-budget films in 2020-21 directly copied the 'journalist vs. politician' dynamic from their scenes.
- On the sets of Loukyam, Sampath Raj taught Rakul Preet Singh how to properly deliver a slap in a fight scene — she had never done an action sequence before. He made her practice on a cushion for 20 minutes before the actual take.
- Rakul Preet Singh said about Sampath Raj during NGK promotions: 'He is the kind of co-star who will quietly fix your dialogue delivery without making you feel bad. He did that for me in all three films.'
