Nithya Menen & Siddharth Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Nithya Menen acted in every film; Siddharth acted in all of them.

Partnership facts

• Siddharth personally called Nithya Menen after watching her Malayalam film 'Makaramanju' and asked her to star opposite him in '180'. She said yes without reading the full script.
• In 'Jabardasth', Siddharth deliberately slowed down his comic timing to match Nithya's natural, understated reactions. He told the director that her deadpan pauses made the jokes land harder.
• The success of '180' (2011) directly led to its Tamil remake 'Nootrenbadhu' releasing the same year — making them the only Telugu-Tamil bilingual pair to release both versions in the same calendar year.
• During the '180' shoot in Goa, Siddharth and Nithya would sneak out between shots to eat bebinca at a specific beach shack. They still text each other whenever either visits Goa.
• Nithya said in a 2013 interview: 'Siddharth is the only co-star who has seen me cry on set and still made me laugh five minutes later. He knows exactly when to push and when to back off.'
