Allari Naresh & Raghu Babu Movies Together List — 9 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 78% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Maa Alludu Very Good; the 2020s to Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam. Allari Naresh acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Sudigadu (2012), Raghu Babu played the villain while Allari Naresh played the hero. But Raghu Babu actually improvised most of his comedy lines on set, and Naresh would react live — making their fight scenes feel like a real back-and-forth instead of a rehearsed beatdown.
• Raghu Babu has said in interviews that Allari Naresh is one of the few younger actors who still calls him 'Babu garu' on set — a sign of respect that started on Maa Alludu Very Good (2003) and never dropped, even after eight films together.
• Their first film together, Maa Alludu Very Good (2003), was originally supposed to have a different comedian in Raghu Babu's role. But Naresh personally requested the director to cast Raghu Babu after seeing his timing in a stage show — that one call started their eight-film run.
• The success of their double-act in Yamudiki Mogudu (2012) directly inspired the makers of the 2014 comedy film Jump Jilani to pair them again as brothers — this time with a full comedy track written specifically around their real-life age gap and banter.
• Raghu Babu once told a Telugu news channel: 'Naresh is the only hero who lets me take the punchline even in his close-up. He knows comedy is about giving, not taking.'
