Ali and Posani Krishna Murali appeared together in 12 Telugu films between 2013 and 2019. Their highest-rated collaboration was Temper (2015 — 7.0/10). Films span Doosukeltha (2013) through 90 ML (2019).
The Ali & Posani Krishna Murali partnership
Between 2013 and 2019, they barely worked apart — 12 films in 6 years. 2016 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 6 years, a Ali–Posani film arrived almost every year.
From Doosukeltha (2013) to 90 ML (2019). Temper is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
Ali acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Posani Krishna Murali didn't just act with Ali — he wrote the dialogues for Ali's 2013 film 'Doosukeltha'. That film kicked off their 11-movie run together.
- In 'Khaidi No:150' (2017), Posani wrote a key comedic scene where Ali's character keeps mispronouncing a villain's name. Ali improvised three extra variations on set, and Posani kept them all in the final cut.
- Their 2015 flop 'Loafer' directly led to Posani being cast as the writer for Chiranjeevi's comeback film 'Khaidi No:150' — because Chiranjeevi liked the energy between Ali and Posani in that movie.
- Ali and Posani had a standing bet on every film they did together: if the movie flopped, Posani had to buy Ali a meal at his favorite biryani joint. Ali ate free for six of their 11 films.
- Ali once said in an interview: 'Posani garu writes lines that only I can deliver with that timing. He knows exactly where to pause for my stammer to land as a joke.'
