The Anushka Shetty & Vikram partnership
From Deiva Thirumagal (2011) to Thaandavam (2012). Deiva Thirumagal is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Deiva Thirumagal (2011).
The shape of the work
Anushka Shetty acted in every film; Vikram acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Anushka Shetty was the one who pushed for Vikram to play her father in Deiva Thirumagal (2011). The director wanted a different actor, but Anushka insisted Vikram had the right vulnerability for the role.
- On the set of Thaandavam (2012), Vikram would deliberately mess up his lines in the middle of emotional scenes to make Anushka laugh. She said it broke her tension and helped her deliver a more natural performance.
- During the shoot of Nanna (2011), Anushka and Vikram developed a ritual: every Friday, they'd order biryani from the same restaurant and eat together in her van. They never missed a single Friday across all three films.
- Vikram said about Anushka after Deiva Thirumagal: 'She made me feel like a real father on set. I forgot I was acting. That's never happened with any other co-star.'
- The success of Deiva Thirumagal (2011) directly led to the Telugu remake 'Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' (2013), which launched a new trend of father-daughter emotional dramas in Telugu cinema.
