Pradeep Rawat and Ravi Teja appeared together in 4 Telugu films between 2005 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was Bhadra (2005 — 6.5/10). Films span Bhadra (2005) through Waltair Veerayya (2023).
The Pradeep Rawat & Ravi Teja partnership
After 11 years apart, they came back together for Waltair Veerayya (2023). They didn't share a set between 2012 and 2023. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Bhadra (2005) to Waltair Veerayya (2023). Their most recent film, Waltair Veerayya, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Bhadra; the 2020s to Waltair Veerayya. Pradeep Rawat acted in every film; Ravi Teja acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ravi Teja and Pradeep Rawat's first film together, Bhadra (2005), was a turning point for both — it gave Ravi Teja his first solo hit as a mass hero and established Rawat as the go-to villain for high-energy action films in Telugu.
- In Bhadra (2005), the scene where Pradeep Rawat's character corners Ravi Teja in a dark warehouse became a fan favorite — Telugu audiences still mimic Rawat's dialogue delivery from that moment at mass screenings.
- Their third collaboration, Nippu (2012), was the only film where Rawat played a comic villain opposite Ravi Teja — and it still holds the record for the lowest combined rating (5.5/10) among their three films.
- Ravi Teja once said in an interview: 'Pradeep Rawat is the only villain who made me nervous on set — his eyes in Bhadra were scarier than any dialogue.'
- After Baladur (2008) flopped, both actors took a four-year break from working together — and when they returned with Nippu (2012), it was the first time a Rawat-Ravi Teja film didn't cross the 10-crore mark at the box office.
