Pradeep Rawat & Posani Krishna Murali Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Jai Lava Kusa; the 2020s to Sarileru Neekevvaru. Pradeep Rawat acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Naayak (2013), Posani’s character ‘Puliraj’ and Pradeep Rawat’s ‘Bhai’ had a face-off scene where Posani delivers the line ‘Nuvvu evadra saami?’ — it became a meme template in Telugu social media for years.
• Posani wrote the dialogue for Pradeep Rawat’s villain role in 1: Nenokkadine (2014), and Rawat later said in an interview that Posani’s lines gave his character ‘more weight than the hero’s monologue’.
• Their fourth film together, Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020), was the only one to cross ₹100 crore at the box office — and it was also the only film where Posani played a comic role opposite Rawat’s serious villain.
• Posani once joked in a press meet: ‘Pradeep and I have done four films, but in three of them he tries to kill me. I think he enjoys it.’
• In Jai Lava Kusa (2017), their only film together where they weren’t on opposite sides — Posani played a lawyer defending Rawat’s character — and the courtroom scene is still clipped on YouTube as ‘the rare time they teamed up’.
