Manchu Vishnu & Posani Krishna Murali Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

Manchu Vishnu 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 write Doosukeltha (2013) for Vishnu — he also directed it. That film marked Posani's debut as a director, and Vishnu trusted him with the reins despite Posani having zero directing experience at the time.
• In Achari America Yatra (2018), Vishnu played a naive, bumbling cook who moves to the US. Posani wrote the role specifically to let Vishnu lean into physical comedy — something Vishnu rarely got to do in his action-heavy films before this.
• Voter (2019) was the first Telugu film to get a direct OTT release on Amazon Prime Video instead of a traditional theatrical run. Vishnu and Posani took that gamble together — and it paid off, setting a small trend for mid-budget Telugu films skipping theatres.
• Posani has said in interviews that Vishnu is the only producer who never asked him to change a single line of dialogue across all four films. Vishnu gave Posani complete creative freedom on set, which Posani calls 'rare in this industry.'
• Posani once said about Vishnu: 'He is the only hero who let me write exactly what I wanted. He never said 'this dialogue is too long' or 'this scene is too preachy.' That trust is why I kept coming back.'
