The Tamannaah Bhatia & Raghu Karumanchi partnership
From Oosaravelli (2011) to Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019). Oopiri is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Oosaravelli (2011).
The shape of the work
Tamannaah Bhatia acted in every film; Raghu Karumanchi acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Oosaravelli (2011), Tamannaah and Raghu Karumanchi shared a scene where she slaps him so hard that the slap sound became a meme in Telugu college hostels for years.
- Their pairing in Oopiri (2016) was the first time a mainstream Telugu film showed a disabled lead (Raghu) and a female lead (Tamannaah) in a purely platonic, supportive friendship — no romance, no pity.
- Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) was the only film among their three collaborations to become a commercial hit, grossing over ₹100 crore worldwide — and Raghu played a loyal soldier who dies protecting Tamannaah's character.
- Tamannaah once said in a 2016 interview about Raghu: 'He doesn't need to act — his eyes do all the work. In Oopiri, I just had to react to him.'
- In Oosaravelli, their 'item number' style dance sequence 'Niharika' became a wedding reception staple in Andhra — even though Raghu is a character actor, not a dancer, and Tamannaah had to lead every step.
