While Tenali Rama charms audiences with its wit, wisdom, and riveting sleuth-style storytelling, what happens behind the scenes is a laughter riot of its own. Krishna Bharadwaj , who plays the clever Tenali, recently opened up about his off-screen bond with co-stars Kunal Karan Kapoor (Laxmanappa) and Nikkhil Arya (the sharp Kotwal), revealing a delightful trio known on set as “The Fun Musketeers.”

“Kunal and I are an absolute riot on set—like two mischievous kids always laughing, joking, and playfully teasing those around us. Our favourite target is Nikkhil Arya, who, despite being endlessly confused by our bursts of laughter, takes it all in good spirit,” Krishna shared with a smile.

Their off-screen friendship brings a refreshing contrast to their intense on-screen personas, who solve mind-bending cases with razor-sharp deduction. Behind the camera, though, it’s all about harmless pranks, meme sharing, and laughing over bloopers.

“When we three come together, our off-screen chemistry is so infectious that we have rightly earned the nickname ‘ The Fun Musketeers ’ of the show,” Krishna added.

This playful energy doesn’t just add cheer to their days but also infuses the set with positivity and collaboration. Their strong bond is often credited with making long shooting schedules feel lighter and more enjoyable for the entire crew.

With such off-screen camaraderie adding a special charm to the show’s atmosphere, it’s no wonder the performances on Tenali Rama continue to feel so seamless and spirited. As Krishna puts it, “It’s rare to find co-actors who become genuine friends—and I’m lucky to have found two.”
