The Jagapathi Babu & Ravi Kishan partnership
From Saakshyam (2018) to Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019). Saakshyam is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Saakshyam (2018).
The shape of the work
Jagapathi Babu acted in every film; Ravi Kishan acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Jagapathi Babu and Ravi Kishan were cast as the two main villains in 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' (2019) because director Surender Reddy wanted actors who could match Chiranjeevi's intensity in a face-off. They were the only two actors he auditioned together for the antagonist roles.
- In 'Saakshyam' (2018), Jagapathi Babu played the calm, calculating villain while Ravi Kishan played the explosive brute. They deliberately never rehearsed their scenes together — Jagapathi told Ravi to 'surprise him' on set, which made their confrontations feel genuinely unpredictable.
- Their back-to-back villain double-act in 'Saakshyam' (2018) and 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' (2019) directly inspired director Boyapati Srinu to cast both of them as the primary antagonists in 'Akhanda' (2021) — a film that became a massive blockbuster and revived the mass-masala genre in Telugu cinema.
- During the 'NTR Kathanayakudu' (2019) shoot, Jagapathi Babu and Ravi Kishan shared a vanity van for three weeks. Ravi Kishan would cook his signature Bihari chicken curry every Sunday, and Jagapathi would bring homemade Andhra pickles. They called it 'the North-South canteen'.
