The Suman & Ramya Krishnan partnership
After 19 years apart, they came back together for Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (2019). They didn't share a set between 2000 and 2019. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Annamayya (1997) to Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (2019). It started with Annamayya (1997).
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Annamayya; the 2010s to Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven. Suman acted in every film; Ramya Krishnan acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 1 film in telugu.
Partnership facts
- Suman was the one who pushed for Ramya Krishnan to play the female lead in Annamayya (1997). The director K. Raghavendra Rao was initially hesitant, but Suman insisted she had the grace for the devotional role.
- In Sammakka Sarakka (2000), Suman and Ramya Krishnan played tribal warriors. Their fight scenes had no stunt doubles — they rehearsed the sword sequences together for two weeks, and Ramya matched Suman's intensity beat for beat.
- After Devullu (2000) flopped, Suman and Ramya Krishnan didn't speak for nearly 15 years. They only reconciled on the sets of Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (2019), where Ramya walked up to Suman and said, 'We wasted too many years being silent.'
- Their pairing in Annamayya (1997) directly led to the devotional film trend in Telugu cinema. Producers started casting them together in similar roles, and the film's success inspired the 2000 film Devullu — which also starred both of them.
- Ramya Krishnan once said in an interview: 'Suman is the only co-star who made me feel like a queen on set. He never let the director shout at me. He'd take the blame for my mistakes.'
