Posani Krishna Murali & Murli Sharma Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Murli Sharma acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Posani Krishna Murali wrote the role of the corrupt lawyer in 'Gopala Gopala' (2015) specifically for Murli Sharma after watching his Telugu debut in 'Rakshasudu'. He told the director that only Murli could make the audience laugh while hating him.
• In 'Hyper' (2016), Posani's character was written as a loud, ranting antagonist. But on set, Murli Sharma quietly suggested they swap the energy — he would underplay his lines while Posani went full throttle. The director kept the take. That scene became the film's most shared clip on YouTube.
• During the shoot of 'Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu' (2016), Posani and Murli discovered they both collect vintage Telugu film posters. They started a private WhatsApp group called 'Poster Boys' where they still trade rare finds. Neither has ever made the group public.
• The success of their double-act in 'Juvva' (2018) — where Posani played a scheming uncle and Murli his hapless sidekick — directly inspired the comedy track in the 2020 film 'Bheeshma'. The writer admitted in an interview that he rewatched 'Juvva' three times to study their timing.
• Murli Sharma said in a 2019 interview: 'Posani garu is the only co-actor who can make me forget my lines because I'm laughing so hard. We had to do 14 retakes for one scene in Ninnu Veedani Needanu Nene because I kept breaking character.'
• In 'Tenali Ramakrishna BABL' (2019), Posani and Murli played rival courtiers. They agreed before the shoot that neither would rehearse their dialogues together — they wanted the on-screen hostility to feel raw. The director later said their first take was unusable because they genuinely started arguing off-script.
