The Ramya Krishnan & Nagendra Babu partnership
Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema. From Mugguru Monagallu (1994) to Soggade Chinni Nayana (2016). Hero is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Mugguru Monagallu (1994).
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Mugguru Monagallu; the 2010s to Soggade Chinni Nayana. Ramya Krishnan acted in every film; Nagendra Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Nagendra Babu personally recommended Ramya Krishnan for the lead role in 'Oke Maata' (2000) after the director struggled to find an actress willing to play a mother to a grown-up son. She was only 30 at the time.
- In 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' (2016), Nagendra Babu played Ramya Krishnan's father-in-law on screen — but off-screen, he was 20 years older. Their age-gap comedy scenes became the film's most replayed moments on YouTube.
- Ramya Krishnan and Nagendra Babu share the same birthday — November 15. They celebrated together on the sets of 'Ranga the Donga' (2010) with a single cake, which the crew still talks about.
- The success of 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' (2016) directly led to Nagendra Babu producing a spin-off web series focused on his character, making him one of the first Telugu actors to transition from film to digital content.
- Nagendra Babu once said in an interview: 'Ramya is the only co-star who can make me forget my lines — because I'm too busy laughing at her timing.'
