Nagma & Daggubati Venkatesh Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Nagma acted in every film; Daggubati Venkatesh acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Nagma was just 19 when she signed Kondapalli Raja (1993) opposite Venkatesh, who was already a star. She later admitted she was nervous acting with someone so senior, but he made her comfortable by cracking jokes between takes.
• In Super Police (1994), Venkatesh played a double role — a cop and a lookalike thief. Nagma’s character was the only one who could tell them apart, and she used that to play both comic and emotional beats. She later said that script demanded her to be the anchor for his chaos.
• Their third film Sarada Bullodu (1996) was a rural drama where Nagma’s character was the more aggressive, outspoken one — a rare dynamic for the time. Venkatesh deliberately underplayed his role to let her dominate every scene they shared.
• The success of Kondapalli Raja (1993) directly led to Venkatesh being cast in the Hindi remake of the same film — but Nagma was replaced by a Bollywood actress. She later joked that she 'lost a chance to debut in Hindi because of that swap.'
• During the shoot of Super Police (1994), Nagma and Venkatesh developed a close friendship. She once revealed that he would bring her homemade biryani from his mother’s kitchen on set, and they’d eat lunch together away from the crew.
• Nagma said in a 1996 interview: 'Venkatesh is the only co-star who never once made me feel like a newcomer. He treated me like an equal from day one.'
