Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Posani Krishna Murali and Raghu Karumanchi appeared together in 8 Telugu films between 2015 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Rangu (2018 — 7.3/10). Films span Pataas (2015) through Gorre Puranam (2024).
The Posani Krishna Murali & Raghu Karumanchi partnership
From Pataas (2015) to Gorre Puranam (2024). For 9 years, a Posani–Raghu film arrived almost every year. Their most recent film, Gorre Puranam, came out in 2024 — the partnership is still active.
Rangu is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Pataas (2015).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 63% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Rangu; the 2020s to Anubhavinchu Raja. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Raghu Karumanchi acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Raghu Karumanchi was an assistant director on Posani Krishna Murali's earlier films. Posani gave him his first break as a lead actor in 'Pataas' (2015) after seeing him hang around sets for years.
- In 'Rangu' (2018), Posani wrote a role specifically for Raghu's deadpan comic timing — a village simpleton who delivers philosophical one-liners. Raghu improvised half his dialogue on set, and Posani kept the takes.
- Their 2019 film '90 ML' was a surprise hit in B and C centers, directly inspiring two other Telugu small-town drinking comedies — 'Drushyam' (2020) and 'Malli Modalaindi' (2021) — that copied its structure of a group of friends getting into trouble over alcohol.
- Posani and Raghu have a standing bet on every film: if the movie runs for 50 days, Raghu has to cook Posani a meal. Raghu lost on 'Pataas' and 'Rangu' — he still owes Posani two home-cooked dinners.
