The Rajendra Prasad & Raghu Babu partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Aagadu (2014). They didn't share a set between 2004 and 2014. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Srirama Chandrulu (2003) to Laggam (2024). Their most recent film, Laggam, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Aa Naluguru; the 2020s to Gaali Sampath. Rajendra Prasad acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Their first film together, Srirama Chandrulu (2003), was a remake of a Tamil hit. Rajendra Prasad played the lead, but Raghu Babu was cast as the comic sidekick after the director saw him in a stage play. Raghu Babu had to dub his own lines in Telugu because the original Tamil actor's voice didn't fit.
- In Aa Naluguru (2004), Rajendra Prasad played a stoic, suffering father. Raghu Babu's character was the loud, impulsive neighbor. The director said Raghu Babu's energy forced Rajendra Prasad to underplay his reactions — making the emotional scenes hit harder because Prasad stayed still while Raghu Babu bounced off him.
- Their 2019 film F2 was a sleeper hit that revived the comedy-drama genre in Telugu. Its success directly led to a wave of similar multi-starrer comedies like Jathi Ratnalu (2021) and Brochevarevarura (2019). Raghu Babu's improvised line in F2 — "Nenu kuda oka star ni" — became a meme that year.
- Raghu Babu has said in interviews that Rajendra Prasad personally recommended him for roles in two of their films — Maa Alludu Very Good and Apparao Driving School. Prasad told producers Raghu Babu was "the only actor who could make me laugh genuinely on set."
- "Rajendra Prasad garu is like a walking dictionary of comedy timing. I just follow his rhythm. If I go too fast, he slows me down with a look. If I go flat, he picks me up with a pause." — Raghu Babu, in a 2020 interview about working with Prasad.
