Sathyaraj & Anushka Shetty Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Baahubali; the 2020s to Bāhubali: The Epic. Sathyaraj acted in every film; Anushka Shetty acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Mirchi (2013), Sathyaraj's character Manas and Anushka's character Vennela share a scene where he teaches her to ride a bike — it became a go-to GIF for 'cool dad energy' on Telugu social media for years.
• Their father-daughter dynamic in Baahubali (2015) — Sathyaraj as Kattappa and Anushka as Devasena — was the emotional anchor of the film. It made Kattappa's shocking betrayal in the climax hit harder because audiences had already fallen for their bond.
• Baahubali 2 (2017) became the first Telugu film to cross ₹1000 crore worldwide, and Sathyaraj and Anushka's scenes together — especially the flashback sequences — were called the 'heart of the film' by multiple trade analysts.
• Anushka once said in an interview: 'Sathyaraj sir is the only co-star who made me cry on set without even trying — his eyes carry so much weight.' She was referring to their emotional confrontation scene in Baahubali.
• The dialogue 'Maha rani Devasena' — spoken by Sathyaraj's Kattappa to Anushka's Devasena in Baahubali (2015) — became a meme template for dramatic introductions in Telugu pop culture.
• Before Baahubali, Sathyaraj was mostly known as a villain in Telugu. Anushka's Devasena gave him a role that flipped his image — he became a beloved father figure, and that shift started with their scenes together in Mirchi (2013).
