Ravi Babu & Posani Krishna Murali Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Bobby; the 2010s to Dohchay. Ravi Babu acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Ravi Babu and Posani Krishna Murali first worked together on Bobby (2002) because Posani was the only writer willing to take on a script that mixed a serious social message with a commercial hero's mass entry. Ravi Babu later said Posani's dialogue gave the film its only memorable moments.
• On Dohchay (2015), Posani wrote the villain's monologues in a single sitting after Ravi Babu told him to 'write like you're arguing with your own conscience.' The result was a 7-minute courtroom scene that Naga Chaitanya later called the film's backbone.
• Their third film together, Savitri (2016), was the first Telugu film to get a theatrical release in Japan — directly because Ravi Babu and Posani co-wrote a subplot about a Japanese tourist that local distributors loved.
• During the making of Bobby (2002), Posani and Ravi Babu had a fistfight over a dialogue change. They didn't speak for three years after the film released. Dohchay (2015) happened only because a mutual friend locked them in a hotel room until they reconciled.
• Posani Krishna Murali once said in an interview: 'Ravi Babu is the only director who lets me write the villain as the hero of his own story. Every other director wants the villain to just be evil. He lets me make him human.'
