Raghu Babu & Hari Teja Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s belonged to F2; the 2020s to Sarileru Neekevvaru. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Hari Teja acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Hari Teja was cast in F2 (2019) after director Anil Ravipudi saw her in a small role in a TV show. Raghu Babu, who was already locked for the film, personally recommended her to the team after they worked together on a previous project.
• In Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020), Raghu Babu played a loud, comic villain while Hari Teja played his on-screen wife. Their scenes together were mostly improvised — Raghu Babu would set the rhythm with his dialogue delivery, and Hari Teja would react with deadpan timing, creating a natural push-and-pull that made their bickering feel real.
• Their pairing in Zombie Reddy (2021) was the first time a Telugu zombie comedy featured a married couple as central comic relief. The film's success led to more horror-comedy scripts casting real-life couples or frequent collaborators in similar roles — a small trend that started with them.
• Raghu Babu and Hari Teja have known each other since the early 2000s, long before they acted together. They share a close friendship — Hari Teja once said Raghu Babu is the only co-star who calls her just to check if she's eaten properly during long shoots.
• "Raghu Babu is like a brother on set. He never lets me feel nervous, even when the scene is chaotic. He just says, 'Do your thing, I'll catch you.'" — Hari Teja, in a 2021 interview about Zombie Reddy.
