Suman and Meka Srikanth appeared together in 5 Telugu films between 2000 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was Shadow (2013 — 6.5/10). Films span Devullu (2000) through Varisu (2023).
The Suman & Meka Srikanth partnership
After 13 years apart, they came back together for Shadow (2013). They didn't share a set between 2000 and 2013. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Devullu (2000) to Varisu (2023). Their most recent film, Varisu, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Devullu; the 2020s to Varisu. Suman acted in every film; Meka Srikanth acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 2 films in Tamil.
Partnership facts
- Suman and Srikanth first shared screen in Devullu (2000), but the real spark came 13 years later. Director of Shadow (2013) cast them as father and son — a pairing that felt so natural they repeated it in three more films.
- In Sarrainodu (2016), Suman played the villain's right hand while Srikanth played the hero's brother. Their one-on-one confrontation scene — where Suman's cold menace meets Srikanth's raw anger — became the film's most replayed fight sequence on YouTube.
- Marshal (2019) was a hit largely because of their father-son emotional core. That film's success directly led to the Tamil remake Varisu (2023), where they reprised the same dynamic — making them the only Telugu actor duo to carry a remake across industries.
- On the sets of Shadow (2013), Suman and Srikankan discovered they shared the same hometown — Machilipatnam. They started a tradition of ordering a specific Andhra pickle from a local shop for every lunch break on every film they did together after that.
- Srikanth once said in an interview: 'Suman garu doesn't need to act. He just stands there and the scene works. I had to work twice as hard to match his stillness.'
