The Raghu Babu & Rashmika Mandanna partnership
From Dear Comrade (2019) to Bheeshma (2020). It started with Dear Comrade (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Dear Comrade; the 2020s to Bheeshma. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Rashmika Mandanna acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Rashmika was initially hesitant to sign 'Dear Comrade' because she thought the role of Lilly was too intense. Raghu Babu, who played her father in the film, personally called her and said, 'This is the kind of role that will define your career. Don't run from it.' She took the part and it became her biggest hit at the time.
- In 'Sarileru Neekevvaru', Raghu Babu played a comedic sidekick while Rashmika played the female lead. They had zero scenes together in the entire film. Their 'collaboration' was just sharing the same movie set — they never even exchanged a single line of dialogue.
- During the 'Bheeshma' shoot, Raghu Babu would bring homemade pickles from his village for Rashmika every single day. She later said in an interview that she looked forward to the shoot only because of his 'pickle deliveries' and that he treated her like his real daughter on set.
- Raghu Babu said about Rashmika after 'Dear Comrade': 'She has the guts of a lion. I've seen young actors crumble under pressure, but she would ask for more retakes. I told her, "You're going to be a star." And look at her now.'
- Because of their father-daughter dynamic in 'Dear Comrade', Telugu cinema saw a small trend of casting older comedians as serious, emotional fathers to young heroines. At least three films in 2020-21 directly copied this template — casting comic actors in paternal roles with dramatic weight.
