Partnership facts

• Posani Krishna Murali was originally brought in just to write the dialogues for Naayak (2013). But director V.V. Vinayak liked his screen presence so much during script readings that he offered him the role of the villain — opposite Ashish Vidyarthi. That film became their first pairing.
• In Gopala Gopala (2015), Ashish Vidyarthi played a straight-faced godman while Posani played a frantic, sweating devotee. Ashish deliberately slowed his dialogue delivery to throw Posani off rhythm — and Posani, in turn, started improvising panic-stricken stutters. The director kept both takes because the mismatch became the comedy.
• On the sets of Chandee (2013), Ashish Vidyarthi and Posani Krishna Murali discovered they shared the same Telugu dialect coach from their early theatre days. They started a ritual: before every scene together, they’d recite one line from that coach’s old play. They kept this up through all five films.
• Their back-and-forth in Sher (2016) — where Ashish plays a cold don and Posani a bumbling informant — directly inspired the comic-relief villain duo in the 2019 web series 'Godse' on Zee5. The writer admitted in an interview he rewatched Sher three times to study their timing.
• Posani Krishna Murali once said in a 2018 interview: 'Ashish garu is the only actor who can make me forget my lines — because I’m too busy watching him act. Then he winks, and I remember I’m supposed to be acting too.'
