Ram Charan Teja & Brahmanandam Movies Together List — 8 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Chirutha; the 2020s to Game Changer. Ram Charan Teja acted in every film; Brahmanandam acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Brahmanandam was the one who suggested Ram Charan cast him in 'Rachcha' (2012). Charan was hesitant at first, thinking the comedy legend might overshadow the hero. Brahmanandam convinced him by promising to play a side role, not a scene-stealer.
• In 'Naayak' (2013), Brahmanandam improvised an entire 3-minute monologue about 'current bill' (electricity bill) on set. Ram Charan laughed so hard during the take that the director had to cut. Charan later said that bit became the most replayed comedy scene in the film.
• During 'Yevadu' (2014) shoot, Ram Charan would personally drive Brahmanandam back to his house after late-night schedules. Brahmanandam later revealed in an interview that Charan never let him take a cab, even when the shoot ended at 3 AM.
• Their pairing in 'Khaidi No:150' (2017) directly inspired the comedy track in the Tamil remake 'Vedhalam' (2015) — wait, that's backwards. Actually, the success of their comic timing in 'Naayak' made director V.V. Vinayak write a dedicated comedy subplot for them in 'Khaidi No:150', which became a template for hero-comedian duos in later mass movies.
• Brahmanandam said about Ram Charan: 'He is the only hero who would stop mid-scene and ask me, 'Brahmanandam garu, is this joke working? Should I react bigger or smaller?' He treated me like a co-actor, not a comedian.' — from a 2017 interview with Sakshi Post.
