Jagapathi Babu and Anasuya Bharadwaj appeared together in 4 Telugu films between 2017 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Pushpa (The Rise Part-01) (2021 — 7.6/10). Films span Winner (2017) through Nagabandham (2026).
The Jagapathi Babu & Anasuya Bharadwaj partnership
From Winner (2017) to Nagabandham (2026). Yatra (2019, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Their most recent film, Nagabandham, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
Pushpa (The Rise Part-01) is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Winner (2017).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Yatra; the 2020s to Pushpa (The Rise Part-01). Jagapathi Babu acted in every film; Anasuya Bharadwaj acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Anasuya Bharadwaj was initially hesitant to play the role of a politician's wife in Yatra (2019), but Jagapathi Babu personally convinced her during a phone call, telling her the film was bigger than both their roles.
- In Pushpa (2021), Jagapathi Babu's menacing silence as the villain pushed Anasuya to dial up her comic timing in their scenes together — she later said his deadpan delivery forced her to improvise every line.
- During the shoot of Winner (2017), Jagapathi Babu would bring homemade biryani to the set every Friday, and Anasuya made it a point to sit with him during lunch breaks — a ritual they continued through all three films.
- Anasuya said about Jagapathi Babu after Yatra: 'He doesn't act with you — he listens to you. That made me forget the camera was rolling.'
- Their pairing in Yatra (2019) as a political couple was so convincing that the film's director, Mahi V. Raghav, later cast them again in a similar dynamic for an unannounced project that eventually got shelved.
