Prakash Raj & Anushka Shetty Movies Together List — 10 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 90% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Stalin; the 2010s to Khaleja. Prakash Raj acted in every film; Anushka Shetty acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 4 films in Tamil.

Partnership facts

• Prakash Raj personally called Anushka to cast her as his love interest in 'Singam' (2010). He was producing the film and wanted an actress who could match his intensity. She said yes without reading the full script.
• In 'Thozha' (2016), Prakash Raj played a paralyzed man and Anushka played his caretaker. He told her to treat him like furniture — don't act like he's fragile. That blunt direction made their scenes feel brutally real.
• Their pairing in 'Singam' (2010) directly led to the 'Singam' franchise becoming a template for mass-hero cop films in Tamil. Every subsequent 'Singam' sequel reused their on-screen dynamic of a stern husband and a fiery wife.
• On the sets of 'Vaanam' (2011), Prakash Raj would deliberately mess up his lines to make Anushka laugh during serious scenes. She once threw a water bottle at him in frustration. They still joke about it.
• Anushka said about Prakash Raj: 'He is the only co-star who can scold me on set and I won't talk back. Because I know he's right.' She said this during a 2016 press meet for 'Thozha'.
• In 'Rudramadevi' (2015), Prakash Raj played her father. He insisted on doing the emotional confrontation scene in one take — no cuts. Anushka matched his raw grief beat for beat. The director kept the take.
