Rao Ramesh & Srinivasa Reddy Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 71% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Solo; the 2020s to Mazaka. Rao Ramesh acted in every film; Srinivasa Reddy acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Srinivasa Reddy was the one who brought Rao Ramesh into 'Solo' (2011). He recommended Ramesh to the director, and that film became their first collaboration.
• In 'Aravindha Sametha' (2018), Rao Ramesh played the villain and Srinivasa Reddy played a comic sidekick. Their scenes together had a sharp contrast — Ramesh's cold menace made Reddy's nervous humor land harder.
• Srinivasa Reddy and Rao Ramesh have been close friends since their theater days in Hyderabad. They often drove together to shoots in the early 2010s, long before either became a regular face in mainstream cinema.
• Their pairing in 'Chal Mohan Ranga' (2018) — a hit — helped normalize the idea of a middle-aged comedian and a senior villain sharing screen time in a romantic comedy. A few Telugu films after that copied the formula.
• Srinivasa Reddy once said in an interview: 'Rao Ramesh is the only actor who can make me forget my lines just by staring at me. I have to work twice as hard to keep up.'
