The Posani Krishna Murali & Venu Tillu partnership
From 4 Letters (2019) to Bujji... Ila Raa (2022). It started with 4 Letters (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to 4 Letters; the 2020s to Bujji... Ila Raa. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Venu Tillu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Posani Krishna Murali wrote the script for '4 Letters' specifically for Venu Tillu after watching his comic timing in a stage play. Venu was hesitant to take on a lead role, but Posani convinced him by promising to write a character that would let him improvise every line.
- On the sets of 'Shikaaru', Posani would deliberately pause mid-dialogue during rehearsals to let Venu jump in with an ad-lib. Venu's off-the-cuff punchlines became the film's most quoted lines, and Posani later said he wrote the script with 'empty spaces' for Venu to fill.
- During the shoot of 'Bujji... Ila Raa', Posani and Venu had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the entire crew dinner. Venu lost the bet on day one, but Posani paid anyway — and they kept the bet going as a joke for all three films.
- The success of '4 Letters' directly led to Venu Tillu being cast as the lead in two other comedy-dramas in 2020, both of which tried to replicate the 'Posani-written, Venu-delivered' rhythm. Neither matched the original's box office run.
- Venu Tillu said in a 2022 interview: 'Posani garu doesn't just write lines — he writes traps. He knows exactly where I'll trip and make it funny. I trust him to push me off a cliff every time.'
