Nassar & Ravi Teja Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Chanti; the 2020s to Tiger Nageswara Rao. Nassar acted in every film; Ravi Teja acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Nassar was already a veteran when Ravi Teja was a nobody. In Chanti (1992), Ravi Teja played a small role as a friend of the hero. That was his first-ever Telugu film appearance — and Nassar was the senior actor on set who reportedly guided him through the shoot.
• In Bhageeratha (2005), Nassar played the villain and Ravi Teja played the hero. Their confrontation scenes are the only reason the film is remembered — Nassar’s cold, measured menace forced Ravi Teja to dial down his usual hyper-energy, creating a rare tense, slow-burn face-off.
• After Chanti, they didn't work together for 13 years. But when they reunited for Bhageeratha, Ravi Teja publicly thanked Nassar for teaching him set discipline back in 1992. Nassar later said in an interview that Ravi Teja still calls him 'sir' on set.
• Ramarao on Duty (2022) was their fourth and most recent film together. It was a moderate performer at the box office, but it directly led to Ravi Teja casting Nassar again in his next production — Eagle (2024), which is still in post-production.
• Ravi Teja once said about Nassar: 'He doesn't act. He just becomes the character. Standing opposite him, you have no choice but to level up.' He said this during the promotions of Bhageeratha.
