Nassar and Posani Krishna Murali appeared together in 9 Telugu films between 2014 and 2021. Their highest-rated collaboration was Dhruva (2016 — 7.4/10). Films span 1: Nenokkadine (2014) through Red (2021).
The Nassar & Posani Krishna Murali partnership
Between 2014 and 2021, they barely worked apart — 9 films in 7 years. 2016 was their peak — 4 films in twelve months. For 7 years, a Nassar–Posani film arrived almost every year.
From 1: Nenokkadine (2014) to Red (2021). Dhruva is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 89% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Dhruva; the 2020s to Red. Nassar acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Nassar and Posani first shared screen space in 2014's 'Nenokkadine', but they didn't share a single scene together. Their characters never met. The director Sukumar just wanted two heavyweights in the same universe.
- In 'Dhruva' (2016), Posani played a corrupt minister and Nassar played a police officer. They only had one face-off scene, but Posani later said Nassar's silence in that scene forced him to raise his voice — making the villain look desperate, not powerful.
- Posani Krishna Murali personally called Nassar to be in 'Voter' (2019). He didn't go through agents. Nassar agreed without reading the full script because Posani told him the film was about election ethics — a topic both were passionate about in real life.
- Their 2016 hit 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' was the first Telugu film where both actors played comedic roles together. It directly inspired the trend of pairing senior character artists in comic double-acts — something 'Jai Simha' (2018) and 'F2' (2019) copied.
- Posani once told a Hyderabad press meet: 'Nassar garu is the only actor who can make me forget my lines. I get so busy watching him that I miss my cue.'
9 films across 2 decades
The 2010s brought 8 films together, anchored by Dhruva (7.4/10).
The 2020s accounted for 1 film, averaging 5.8/10.
- Dhruva
