Pradeep Rawat & Ajay Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Nagaram; the 2020s to Sarileru Neekevvaru. Pradeep Rawat acted in every film; Ajay acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Ajay and Pradeep Rawat shared screen in three Telugu films over 15 years — but only one of them, Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020), was a box office hit. The other two, Bhadra (2005) and Katamarayudu (2017), were average earners.
• In Bhadra (2005), Pradeep Rawat played the villain who kidnaps the heroine — and Ajay played the hero's friend who helps rescue her. Their face-off in the climax fight is still remembered by fans for the raw energy.
• Katamarayudu (2017) marked the only time Ajay and Pradeep Rawat played on the same side — Rawat was a supporting cop while Ajay played the hero's sidekick. It was a rare shift from their usual hero-villain dynamic.
• Ajay once said in an interview about working with Pradeep Rawat: 'He doesn't need dialogues to scare you. Just his eyes do the job. In Bhadra, I had to act terrified of him — and honestly, it wasn't hard.'
• Their third film together, Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020), was the only one where they didn't share a single scene — Pradeep Rawat played a brief cameo as a politician, while Ajay had a supporting role. Yet it became their biggest commercial success.
