Rao Ramesh and Anasuya Bharadwaj appeared together in 6 Telugu films between 2019 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Peddha Kapu - 1 (2023 — 7.9/10). Films span Yatra (2019) through Pushpa 2 - The Rule (2024).
The Rao Ramesh & Anasuya Bharadwaj partnership
Between 2019 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 6 films in 5 years. For 5 years, a Rao–Anasuya film arrived almost every year. They saved their best for last — Peddha Kapu - 1 (7.9/10) came 4 years in.
From Yatra (2019) to Pushpa 2 - The Rule (2024). Yatra (2019, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Yatra; the 2020s to Peddha Kapu - 1. Rao Ramesh acted in every film; Anasuya Bharadwaj acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Yatra (2019), Rao Ramesh played a key supporting role as a party loyalist, but Anasuya Bharadwaj was cast as the female lead opposite him — a rare pairing where the age gap was used to show the span of YSR's political journey, not as a romantic angle.
- In Pushpa (2021), Rao Ramesh's character MP Bhumireddy Siddappa Naidu is a calm, calculating politician, while Anasuya's Dakshayani is loud and volatile. Their only scene together works because he underplays every line, letting her manic energy bounce off his stillness — a deliberate choice by director Sukumar to show two different kinds of power.
- In Khiladi (2022), they played a married couple for the first time — but the twist is that Anasuya's character is secretly working against Ramesh's. She said in an interview that he helped her time the reveal by deliberately slowing down his dialogue delivery in their confrontation scene, so her outburst would hit harder.
- Anasuya has called Rao Ramesh 'Anna' (elder brother) on set since their first film together. She once said he personally coached her on the Telangana dialect for Pushpa because his own family roots are from that region, even though he's known for standard Telugu diction.
