Jr. NTR & Brahmaji Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Jr. NTR acted in every film; Brahmaji acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Jr. NTR personally asked director Boyapati Srinu to cast Brahmaji in Baadshah (2013). He wanted a familiar face to bounce off during the comedy track, and Brahmaji was his first call.
• In Jai Lava Kusa (2017), Brahmaji played the sidekick to Jr. NTR's 'Jai' character. Their rhythm came from Brahmaji deliberately slowing his dialogue delivery so NTR could land punchlines harder — a trick they rehearsed for two weeks before shooting.
• Brahmaji once said in an interview that Jr. NTR never called him by his name on set — only 'anna' (elder brother). That habit started during Baadshah and stuck through all three films.
• The success of Aravindha Sametha (2018) directly led to Brahmaji being cast in a similar comic-relief role in Trivikram's next film, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020). That film became a blockbuster and gave Brahmaji a career second wind.
• Brahmaji told a Telugu news channel in 2019: 'NTR gives you so much space to perform. He doesn't overshadow you. That's why I did three films with him without even asking for the script.'
