Kishore and Nassar appeared together in 6 Telugu films between 2013 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Dalam (2013 — 6.5/10). Films span Dalam (2013) through S. Saraswathi (2026).
The Kishore & Nassar partnership
From Dalam (2013) to S. Saraswathi (2026). Their most recent film, S. Saraswathi, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. It started with Dalam (2013).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 67% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Dalam; the 2020s to Acharya. Kishore acted in every film; Nassar acted in all of them. Mostly Telugu, with 3 films in Tamil.
Partnership facts
- Dalam (2013) almost didn't happen. The director wanted a younger actor for the father role. Nassar pushed back and said Kishore had the right 'weight' for the part. Kishore got the call the same day.
- In Koottam (2014), Nassar deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in every scene with Kishore. He told the crew Kishore's silence was the real performance — he just had to not rush it.
- Rekka (2016) was the only film where they played direct antagonists. That clash — Kishore's brute physicality vs Nassar's coiled calm — directly inspired the villain dynamic in the 2018 hit 'Ratsasan'.
- During Rekka's shoot, Kishore's father passed away. Nassar quietly took over his scenes for two days, then handed the footage to the editor without telling anyone. Kishore found out only at the premiere.
- Nassar once said in a 2017 interview: 'Kishore doesn't act. He just stands there and the camera loves him. I had to work twice as hard to keep up.'
