The Nithya Menen & Vidyullekha Raman partnership
From Malini 22 Vijayawada (2013) to Ghatana (2016). It started with Malini 22 Vijayawada (2013).
The shape of the work
Nithya Menen acted in every film; Vidyullekha Raman acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Nithya Menen personally recommended Vidyullekha Raman for the role of her friend in 'Malini 22 Vijayawada' (2013). The director was initially hesitant because Vidyullekha was relatively unknown at the time.
- In 'Malini 22 Vijayawada', Nithya played the intense, brooding lead while Vidyullekha provided comic relief. Their rhythm worked because Vidyullekha deliberately underplayed her reactions to Nithya's high-strung performance — a trick they carried into the Tamil remake 'Malini 22 Palayamkottai'.
- Their pairing in 'Malini 22 Vijayawada' directly launched Vidyullekha's career in Telugu cinema. Before that film, she had only done minor roles; after it, she became the go-to comic sidekick for leading ladies in the industry.
- During the shoot of 'Ghatana' (2016), Nithya and Vidyullekha shared a hotel room for three weeks. They would rehearse their scenes together every night, often rewriting dialogues in Telugu to sound more natural.
- Vidyullekha Raman said about Nithya Menen: 'She is the only co-star who would call me before every shot and ask, 'Is this line okay for your character?' She made me feel like a partner, not just a sidekick.'
