Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Nassar and Ramya Krishnan appeared together in 16 Telugu films between 1990 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Baahubali (2015 — 8.8/10). Films span Pudhiya Sarithiram (1990) through Bāhubali: The Epic (2025).
The Nassar & Ramya Krishnan partnership
Their work runs across 4 decades of Telugu cinema. From Pudhiya Sarithiram (1990) to Bāhubali: The Epic (2025). Baahubali 2 (2017, 8.2/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
Their most recent film, Bāhubali: The Epic, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active. Baahubali is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Criminal; the 2020s to Bāhubali: The Epic. Nassar acted in every film; Ramya Krishnan acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 7 films in Tamil.
Partnership facts
- Their first film together, Pudhiya Sarithiram (1990), was directed by Nassar himself. He cast Ramya Krishnan as the female lead in his directorial debut — meaning he literally launched their on-screen partnership by putting her in his own movie.
- In Baahubali (2015), Nassar played the loyal minister to Ramya Krishnan's queen Sivagami. Their scenes together are built on her commanding silence and his nervous deference — he made her authority feel real by playing the one person who's terrified to meet her eyes.
- Nassar and Ramya Krishnan have known each other since the early 1990s, and he has often said in interviews that she is one of the few co-stars he remains close friends with. They still call each other for advice on roles and scripts.
- The success of Baahubali and Baahubali 2 — where they played queen and minister — directly led to both being cast in the same roles in the Hindi dubbed versions, making them pan-India faces. Before that, neither had a Bollywood hit of that scale.
- Nassar once said about Ramya Krishnan: 'She is the only actress who can make you forget your lines just by looking at you. I had to rehearse extra for our Baahubali scenes because her eyes would throw me off.'
