Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Raghu Babu and Saptagiri appeared together in 13 Telugu films between 2016 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Unstoppable (2023 — 6.9/10). Films span Rani Gari Bungala (2016) through S. Saraswathi (2026).
The Raghu Babu & Saptagiri partnership
2024 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 10 years, a Raghu–Saptagiri film arrived almost every year. From Rani Gari Bungala (2016) to S. Saraswathi (2026).
Their most recent film, S. Saraswathi, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. It started with Rani Gari Bungala (2016).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 62% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Juvva; the 2020s to Unstoppable. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Saptagiri acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Raghu Babu and Saptagiri first shared screen space in 'Rani Gari Bungala' (2016), but the pairing that clicked came a year later in 'Rarandoi Veduka Chudham' (2017) — a film where both played comic sidekicks to the lead, and their timing together got more laughs than the hero's lines.
- In 'Juvva' (2018), their hit film, Raghu Babu played the straight man to Saptagiri's chaotic energy — Raghu would set up a joke with a deadpan stare, and Saptagiri would finish it with a wild physical punchline. That rhythm became their signature in every film after.
- Their double-act in 'Tenali Ramakrishna BABL' (2019) — a film that bombed with critics but was a box office hit — directly inspired the trend of pairing two senior comedians as a separate comic track in mass entertainers, something directors like V. V. Vinayak copied in later films.
- On the sets of 'Ruler' (2019), Raghu Babu and Saptagiri developed a ritual: before every comic scene, they would sit together for five minutes and silently nod at each other — no rehearsal, just a shared look. Saptagiri later said it was their way of saying 'we trust each other's timing'.
- Saptagiri once told a fan page: 'Raghu Babu is the only co-actor who can make me laugh even when the director is yelling at us. He'll whisper a joke in Telugu slang right before 'action' and I'll have to bite my cheek to not break character.'
