The Trisha Krishnan & Daggubati Venkatesh partnership
From Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule (2007) to Bodyguard (2012). It started with Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule (2007).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule; the 2010s to Namo Venkatesa. Trisha Krishnan acted in every film; Daggubati Venkatesh acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Venkatesh personally called Trisha to offer her the lead role in 'Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule' (2007). She was a huge star in Tamil already, but this was her first big Telugu break. He told her the script was written with her in mind.
- On the sets of 'Bodyguard' (2012), Trisha would deliberately mess up her lines to make Venkatesh laugh during serious scenes. He couldn't keep a straight face, so the director had to shoot multiple takes. She said it was her way of breaking his 'perfect gentleman' image on screen.
- Their pairing in 'Adavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule' (2007) directly launched Trisha as a bankable Telugu heroine. Before that, she was mostly known in Tamil. After this film, she got back-to-back offers with every top Telugu hero.
- Venkatesh and Trisha share a running joke: he calls her 'Chinna' (little one) on set, and she calls him 'Pedda' (big one). It started during 'Namo Venkatesa' (2010) and they still use it when they meet at industry events.
- Trisha once said: 'Venkatesh is the only hero who made me feel like I was the star of the film, not him. He would step back in every scene to let me shine.' She said this during the audio launch of 'Bodyguard' (2012).
