Sampoornesh Babu & Posani Krishna Murali Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s belonged to Bandipotu; the 2020s to Cauliflower. Sampoornesh Babu 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 wrote the dialogues for Bandipotu (2015) specifically to match Sampoornesh Babu's deadpan delivery. He later said he 'wrote pauses, not punchlines' for him.
• In Cauliflower (2021), Posani played the straight man to Sampoornesh's absurdist comedy. Sampoornesh would deliberately break character mid-scene, and Posani would stay stone-faced — that tension became the film's signature gag.
• During the shoot of Bhari Taraganam (2023), Sampoornesh and Posani shared a room in a budget lodge for 40 days. Posani cooked his own meals because he didn't trust the hotel food, and Sampoornesh would steal his pickles.
• Posani Krishna Murali once said in an interview: 'Sampoornesh is the only actor who can make me forget my lines — because I'm too busy laughing at his face.'
• Their pairing in Bandipotu (2015) directly inspired a wave of 'odd couple' comedies in low-budget Telugu cinema, including the 2017 cult hit 'Maa Abbayi' that tried to copy their dynamic.
