The Rakul Preet Singh & Raghu Babu partnership
Between 2014 and 2017, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 3 years. 2014 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. From Loukyam (2014) to Rarandoi Veduka Chudham (2017).
Loukyam is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Loukyam (2014).
The shape of the work
Rakul Preet Singh acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rakul Preet Singh and Raghu Babu first shared screen space in 'Loukyam' (2014), but they didn't have a single scene together — Raghu played a comic sidekick while Rakul was the love interest. Their actual on-screen pairing only started in 'Current Theega' (2014), where Raghu's character was her on-screen brother.
- In 'Rough' (2014), Raghu Babu improvised a whole comedy bit where he kept mispronouncing Rakul's character name — and Rakul broke character laughing in the final take. The director kept that take in the movie because the laughter felt real.
- During the shoot of 'Pandaga Chesko' (2015), Rakul and Raghu developed a running gag: every morning on set, Raghu would greet her with a new fake Telugu nickname. By the end of the schedule, she had collected 40 nicknames in a notebook.
- Their comic brother-sister dynamic in 'Current Theega' (2014) was so well-received that the director reused the exact same pairing template for 'Rarandoi Veduka Chudham' (2017) — making them the only actor duo to play siblings in two Telugu films three years apart.
- Raghu Babu once said in a 2017 interview: 'Rakul is the only heroine who never complained when I cracked jokes during her romantic scenes. She'd just stand there and laugh with me. That's rare.'
