The Raghu Babu & Ravi Teja partnership
After 11 years apart, they came back together for Amar Akbar Anthony (2018). They didn't share a set between 2007 and 2018. Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema.
From Anveshana (2002) to Disco Raja (2020). It started with Anveshana (2002).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 67% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Shock; the 2020s to Disco Raja. Raghu Babu acted in every film; Ravi Teja acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ravi Teja and Raghu Babu first shared screen space in Anveshana (2002), but their real partnership kicked off 16 years later when Ravi Teja specifically asked for Raghu Babu to play the villain in Amar Akbar Anthony (2018). Raghu Babu was initially hesitant about the role, but Ravi Teja convinced him over a phone call.
- In Amar Akbar Anthony (2018), Raghu Babu's deadpan delivery as the villain 'Bobby' forced Ravi Teja to dial down his usual hyper-energetic style. Ravi Teja later admitted that Raghu Babu's stillness made him rethink his own performance, leading to a more controlled comic timing in their scenes together.
- The success of Amar Akbar Anthony (2018) directly led to Disco Raja (2020) being greenlit. Producer Ramabrahmam Sunkara saw the audience reaction to Ravi Teja and Raghu Babu's face-off in the climax and told the director: 'Give me another film with these two.'
- Raghu Babu and Ravi Teja have a running joke on set: Raghu Babu calls Ravi Teja 'Mass Maharaja' only when he's about to prank him. During Disco Raja (2020) shoot, Raghu Babu once hid Ravi Teja's costume right before a scene, forcing him to shoot in a backup shirt.
- Ravi Teja said about Raghu Babu during Disco Raja promotions: 'He is the only actor who can make me laugh with just a look. I don't even need a dialogue. We don't rehearse — we just look at each other and know what the other will do.'
