Last updated: 2026-07-13 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Praveen and Raghu Babu appeared together in 4 Telugu films between 2019 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam (2022 — 8.5/10). Films span Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu (2019) through LYF - Love Your Father (2025).
The Praveen & Raghu Babu partnership
One film towers over the rest: Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam at 8.5/10. Between 2019 and 2025, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 6 years. From Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu (2019) to LYF - Love Your Father (2025).
Their most recent film, LYF - Love Your Father, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active. It started with Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu; the 2020s to Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam. Praveen acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Raghu Babu personally called Praveen to pitch him the lead role in Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu (2019). Praveen was hesitant at first — he thought the comedy script was too risky for his image. Raghu convinced him over a 45-minute phone call.
- On the sets of Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam (2022), Raghu Babu would deliberately mess up his lines in the first take to make Praveen laugh. That accidental laughter became the take they used in the final cut — the director said it gave the scene a raw, real energy.
- Because of their chemistry in Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu, the producer of Prathinidhi 2 (2024) specifically requested that Raghu Babu be cast as Praveen's on-screen rival. That film's political tension between their characters directly led to a spike in Telugu YouTube channels making 'dialogue battle' videos between the two.
- Praveen and Raghu Babu have a standing bet on every film they do together: whoever flubs the most lines has to buy dinner for the entire crew. Raghu Babu has paid for 3 out of 4 films so far.
- Raghu Babu said in a 2023 interview: 'Praveen is the only actor who can make me forget I'm acting. When I look at him, I see the character, not the star. That's rare.'
