The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 67% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Jagadam; the 2020s to Induvadana. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Dhanraj Sukhram acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Raghu Babu and Dhanraj Sukhram first shared screen space in Jagadam (2007), but they didn't have a single dialogue together. Their first real scene as a duo came nine years later in Panileni Puliraju (2016), where Dhanraj played a henchman to Raghu's comic villain.
- In Bhagya Nagara Veedhullo Gammathu (2019), Raghu Babu's deadpan delivery and Dhanraj's hyper-energetic reactions created a rhythm where Raghu set the punchline and Dhanraj sold it with his body language. Dhanraj once said in an interview that Raghu would deliberately pause mid-dialogue to let him react first.
- Their comic pairing in Ruler (2019) was so well-received that the director, K. S. Ravi Kumar, wrote an extended comedy track for them in the second half — something not in the original script. That track became one of the most shared clips from the film on YouTube.
- Raghu Babu and Dhanraj Sukhram have never had a meal together off-set. Dhanraj revealed in a podcast that Raghu is intensely private and would vanish to his van the moment the director yelled 'cut' — they only ever spoke in character.
- "Raghu Babu is the only actor who can make me laugh with just a look. I don't even need to hear his lines." — Dhanraj Sukhram, in a 2022 interview about Induvadana.
