The Sunil Varma & Chammak Chandra partnership
Between 2021 and 2023, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 2 years. From Jai Sena (2021) to Slum Dog Husband (2023). Their most recent film, Slum Dog Husband, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
It started with Jai Sena (2021).
The shape of the work
Sunil Varma acted in every film; Chammak Chandra acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Sunil Varma personally called Chammak Chandra to offer him the role in Jai Sena (2021). Chandra was hesitant because the script was still being rewritten, but Sunil convinced him over a 45-minute phone call.
- In Vey Dharuvey (2023), Sunil Varma wrote most of his own dialogue on set. Chammak Chandra would then improvise a punchline in response, turning their scenes into a live comedy duel. The director kept rolling because the back-and-forth was better than the script.
- During the shoot of Slum Dog Husband (2023), the two shared a hotel room for 22 days. They played carrom every night after pack-up. Chammak Chandra lost every single game but never stopped trash-talking.
- Chammak Chandra said in a 2023 interview: 'Sunil is the only co-star who makes me forget my lines because I’m laughing so hard. I had to ask the director for retakes just because of him.'
- The success of Vey Dharuvey (2023) directly led to a spin-off web series centered on Chammak Chandra’s character. Sunil Varma co-wrote the pilot episode. The series was announced in late 2023 but hasn’t released yet.
