The Brahmaji & Nivetha Pethuraj partnership
From Chitralahari (2019) to Bloody Mary (2022). Ala Vaikunthapuramulo is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Chitralahari (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Chitralahari; the 2020s to Ala Vaikunthapuramulo. Brahmaji acted in every film; Nivetha Pethuraj acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Brahmaji and Nivetha Pethuraj first shared screen space in Chitralahari (2019) because the director wanted a fresh pair for the lead roles. Neither had worked with the other before, and the casting director paired them specifically to avoid any pre-existing on-screen baggage.
- In Ala Vaikunthapuramulo (2020), Brahmaji played Nivetha's father. Their scenes together had a natural, easy rhythm because Brahmaji deliberately slowed his dialogue delivery to match her softer, more measured style — making the father-daughter bond feel genuinely warm, not forced.
- Their third film together, Bloody Mary (2022), was Nivetha's first horror lead. Brahmaji played a supporting role, and the film's strong reception on OTT directly led to her being offered two more horror projects in 2023 — a genre she hadn't touched before working with him.
- On the sets of Chitralahari, Brahmaji would bring homemade snacks from his wife's kitchen and share them with Nivetha between takes. She later said in a behind-the-scenes interview that those small gestures made her feel less nervous on her first Telugu film set.
- "Brahmaji garu is the kind of co-star who makes you forget the camera is rolling. He doesn't act at you — he acts with you." — Nivetha Pethuraj, in a promotional interview for Bloody Mary (2022).
