Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Raghu Babu and Priyadarshi Pullikonda appeared together in 4 Telugu films between 2019 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was A1 Express (2021 — 7.7/10). Films span F2 (2019) through Darling (2024).
The Raghu Babu & Priyadarshi Pullikonda partnership
Between 2019 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 5 years. From F2 (2019) to Darling (2024). Darling (2024, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
Their most recent film, Darling, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active. A1 Express is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Gang Leader; the 2020s to A1 Express. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Priyadarshi Pullikonda acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In 'Gang Leader' (2019), Priyadarshi’s deadpan delivery forced Raghu Babu to slow down his usual loud comic timing. The director said Raghu had to unlearn his rhythm to match Priyadarshi’s stillness — and that contrast became the scene’s punchline.
- They first met on the sets of 'F2' (2019) as strangers. Raghu Babu walked up to Priyadarshi after a take and said, 'Nuvvu naa kosam wait cheyyi' (You wait for me) — meaning he wanted to time their exchanges together. That one line started their unspoken comic sync.
- During 'A1 Express' (2021), Raghu Babu would bring homemade pickles from his village for Priyadarshi every single day. Priyadarshi later said in an interview that Raghu never missed a day, even when the shoot ran past midnight.
- Priyadarshi said about Raghu Babu in a 2021 podcast: 'He doesn’t act with you — he acts at you. I had to learn to dodge his energy and throw it back. That’s why our scenes look like a tennis match.'
- Their double-act in 'Gang Leader' (2019) directly inspired the comic duo track in the 2022 film 'DJ Tillu' — the writers admitted they wanted a similar 'old-school meets new-school' rhythm between the lead and his sidekick.
