The Priyamani & Raghu Babu partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for S. Saraswathi (2026). They didn't share a set between 2016 and 2026. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Yamadonga (2007) to S. Saraswathi (2026). Their most recent film, S. Saraswathi, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Yamadonga; the 2020s to S. Saraswathi. Priyamani acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Priyamani and Raghu Babu first shared screen space in Hare Ram (2008), but they barely had a scene together — she was the leading lady, he played a side role. Their real collaboration didn't kick off until Ragada (2010), where director Veeru Potla deliberately paired them as siblings after seeing their easy banter during a test shoot.
- In Mana Oori Ramayanam (2016), Raghu Babu played the comic relief while Priyamani anchored the emotional weight. On set, he would deliberately flub his lines to make her laugh before a serious take — she told a local magazine that his goofing helped her relax into the heavy family drama scenes.
- Priyamani and Raghu Babu share a Telugu family connection — she is the niece of veteran producer D. Ramanaidu, and Raghu Babu is the son of legendary comedian Padmanabham. They often joked on set that their film families had known each other long before they ever acted together.
- Their pairing in Ragada (2010) was so well-received as a brother-sister duo that director Veeru Potla wrote a bigger role for Raghu Babu in his next film — directly because of the chemistry they showed in that one scene.
- "Raghu Babu is the only co-star who can make me forget my lines — because I'm too busy laughing at his." — Priyamani, in a 2016 interview about Mana Oori Ramayanam.
