Posani Krishna Murali & Naresh Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s belonged to Maharshi; the 2020s to Super Machi. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Naresh acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Naresh was the one who pushed Posani Krishna Murali to take up acting full-time. Before 'Maharshi' (2019), Posani was mostly a writer. Naresh convinced him to step in front of the camera for that film.
• In 'First Rank Raju' (2019), Posani played Naresh's father. Their real-life age gap is only 11 years, but Posani's natural gravitas made the father-son dynamic feel effortless. Naresh later said Posani's dialogue delivery set the rhythm for their scenes together.
• Posani and Naresh have been close friends since the early 2000s, long before they acted together. Posani wrote dialogues for Naresh's 2005 film 'Andarivaadu'. Their on-screen pairing in 2019 was just a natural extension of a 15-year friendship.
• Naresh once said in an interview: 'Posani garu is the only actor who can make me laugh and cry in the same scene. He doesn't act — he lives the character.'
• Their pairing in 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' (2020) directly led to Mahesh Babu asking Posani to write dialogues for his next film. That film was 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' (2022). So Naresh and Posani's chemistry indirectly gave Mahesh Babu a new writer.
• In 'Super Machi' (2022), Posani played a comedic villain while Naresh played the hero. Posani deliberately slowed down his delivery to let Naresh's reactions land. Naresh later told the director that Posani's timing made his own performance look better.
