The Allari Naresh & Posani Krishna Murali partnership

Between 2014 and 2021, they barely worked apart — 6 films in 7 years. For 7 years, a Allari–Posani film arrived almost every year. From Jump Jilani (2014) to Bangaru Bullodu (2021).

Maharshi is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Jump Jilani (2014).

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Maharshi; the 2020s to Bangaru Bullodu. Allari Naresh acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Posani Krishna Murali didn't just act in 'Jump Jilani' (2014) — he also wrote the dialogues. That film was the first time they shared screen space, and Posani essentially wrote his own lines opposite Naresh.
  • In 'Bandipotu' (2015), Posani played a corrupt cop while Naresh played a conman. Their scenes worked because Posani's loud, theatrical style forced Naresh to play it cooler and quieter — the contrast made both characters sharper.
  • Their only hit together — 'Maharshi' (2019) — was a massive commercial success. But here's the thing: they weren't even the leads. Both played supporting roles in Mahesh Babu's film, and their brief face-off scene became a meme template in Telugu social media for years after.
  • Posani Krishna Murali is a playwright and political activist off-screen. Naresh once said in an interview that during 'Intlo Dayyam Nakem Bhayyam' (2016) shoots, Posani would rewrite his own lines on set — and Naresh would just nod and go with it because 'he knows comedy better than anyone'.
  • Naresh once told a Telugu news channel: 'Posani garu is the only co-actor who can make me laugh even when the director says cut. We'd ruin takes because he'd keep improvising and I'd lose it.'
  • In 'James Bond' (2015), a spoof comedy, Posani played a villain who monologues endlessly. Naresh's character kept interrupting him with one-liners. That back-and-forth rhythm — Posani building long, angry rants and Naresh puncturing them with deadpan punchlines — became their signature in every film together.
