Srikanth and Raghu Babu appeared together in 6 Telugu films between 2005 and 2022. Their highest-rated collaboration was Nagaram (2008 — 7.5/10). Films span Kanchanamala Cable TV (2005) through Son of India (2022).
The Srikanth & Raghu Babu partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Raa Raa (2018). They didn't share a set between 2008 and 2018. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Kanchanamala Cable TV (2005) to Son of India (2022). Nagaram is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Nagaram; the 2020s to Y. Srikanth acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Srikanth personally recommended Raghu Babu for a key role in Maayajaalam (2006) after the director struggled to find the right actor for the comedic villain. Raghu Babu got the part on Srikanth's word alone.
- In Y (2021), Srikanth deliberately slowed down his delivery in every scene with Raghu Babu to match his rhythm. Raghu Babu then used those pauses to add improvised physical comedy — the director kept all of it in the final cut.
- Raghu Babu calls Srikanth 'anna' off-screen and has said Srikanth is the only co-star who calls him to check in between films. They still meet for coffee every few months, even when not working together.
- The strong reception for Son of India (2022) directly led to Raghu Babu being cast in a major comic role in a 2023 blockbuster — the director said he was impressed by how well Raghu Babu bounced off Srikanth's straight-faced intensity.
- Raghu Babu once said in an interview: 'Srikanth doesn't act with you — he acts for you. He gives you the space to shine. That's why I always say yes when he calls.'
