Part-Timers is built around two women who are wrong for each other as roommates but impossible to separate as business partners. Thanuja Puttaswamy and Gnaneswari Kandregula lead the Telugu JioHotstar comedy, turning a shared start-up dream into a daily test of patience.

Thanuja Puttaswamy
Thanuja Puttaswamy plays one half of the central pair. The official trailer presents her character as part of the same fledgling company and shared household, where every disagreement can spill from the living room into the business plan. JioHotstar has confirmed her as a lead but has not yet attached a character name to her in its public trailer credits.
Gnaneswari Kandregula
Gnaneswari Kandregula plays the other lead and the second half of the start-up partnership. Her character brings a sharply different temperament to the arrangement, giving the series its core push and pull. As with Puttaswamy’s role, the current official publicity confirms the performer without publishing a clear actor-to-character pairing.
The two-woman partnership at the centre
The important relationship is not simply boss and employee. Both women are tied to the same start-up and the same roof, which means professional compromise is never separate from personal friction. The official promos frame their clashing approaches as the comedy’s main pressure point, while the shared dream gives them a reason to keep trying.
Are the character names confirmed?
JioHotstar’s public trailer and promo credits confirm Thanuja Puttaswamy and Gnaneswari Kandregula, but they do not clearly map the actors to named roles. Rather than guess, this guide will add the pairings when JioHotstar publishes them or the series credits make them clear.
