The Vennela Kishore & Vidyullekha Raman partnership
Between 2014 and 2019, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 5 years. They saved their best for last — Mathu Vadalara (7.6/10) came 5 years in. From Run Raja Run (2014) to Mathu Vadalara (2019).
Mathu Vadalara is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Run Raja Run (2014).
The shape of the work
Vennela Kishore acted in every film; Vidyullekha Raman acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vennela Kishore and Vidyullekha Raman first shared screen space in Run Raja Run (2014) because the director, Sujeeth, specifically wanted a comedy pair that could bounce off each other without stepping on the hero's lines. He cast them together after seeing their individual improv reels.
- In Mathu Vadalara (2019), Vennela Kishore set the rhythm of their scenes by deliberately pausing mid-sentence, forcing Vidyullekha to fill the gap with her signature deadpan reactions. That push-and-pull became the film's most quoted comedy beat.
- Their chemistry in Anando Brahma (2017) directly inspired director Ritesh Rana to write a full-length horror-comedy script for them. That script never got made, but Rana later used the same tone for his next project, which launched a new comedy duo in Telugu.
- On the sets of Maharshi (2019), Vennela Kishore and Vidyullekha Raman had a running bet: whoever broke character first during a take had to buy the other a box of kaju katli. Vidyullekha lost every single time.
- Vidyullekha Raman once said in a 2019 interview: 'Kishore garu is the only co-actor who can make me laugh so hard I forget my lines. We had to reshoot half of Anando Brahma because of him.'
