Raghu Babu and Posani Krishna Murali appeared together in 24 Telugu films between 2002 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was A1 Express (2021 — 7.7/10). Films span Gemini (2002) through Jigel (2025).
The Raghu Babu & Posani Krishna Murali partnership
After 11 years apart, they came back together for Naayak (2013). They didn't share a set between 2002 and 2013. 2014 was their peak — 4 films in twelve months.
They saved their best for last — A1 Express (7.7/10) came 19 years in. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 71% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Gemini; the 2020s to A1 Express. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Posani Krishna Murali acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Their first film together, Gemini (2002), was also the debut of director Sarath Mandava. Raghu Babu and Posani were both cast as antagonists — and their shared screen time in that film set the template for the next two decades of villain duos in Telugu cinema.
- In Loukyam (2014), Posani played the comic villain while Raghu Babu played the straight man enforcer. The trick was that Posani would improvise his lines on set, and Raghu Babu would react in real time — no retakes. Director Srinu Vaitla said that energy couldn't be replicated.
- Their pairing in Gopala Gopala (2015) — where they played two bumbling goons — directly inspired the comic villain duo in the 2018 hit Jai Simha. The writer said he wrote those parts specifically because 'Raghu-Posani energy' was a genre by itself.
- Off-screen, they never hung out. Raghu Babu once said in an interview that they only met on set, exchanged pleasantries, and then went back to their separate lives. No phone calls, no dinners — just pure professional respect for 20 years.
- Posani once told a fan page: 'Raghu Babu is the only actor who can make me look good even when I'm overacting. He gives me space to breathe on screen.'
