Posani Krishna Murali & Nagendra Babu Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Preyasi Raave; the 2010s to Soggade Chinni Nayana. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Nagendra Babu didn't just act in 'Aapada Mokkulavaadu' (2008) — he produced it. That's how he first brought Posani Krishna Murali into his film. Posani was already a known writer, but Nagendra trusted him with a full acting role in his own production.
• In 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' (2016), Nagendra Babu played the comic sidekick to Posani's villain. The trick? Posani's over-the-top rage worked because Nagendra's deadpan reactions kept the scene grounded. Nagendra would deliberately underplay his lines to make Posani's explosions funnier.
• Posani Krishna Murali has said in interviews that Nagendra Babu is one of the few producers who never asked him to tone down his dialogue delivery. On the sets of 'Tippu' (2015), Nagendra actually encouraged Posani to shout louder — because he knew that's what the audience expected from him.
• Their only hit together, 'Soggade Chinni Nayana' (2016), directly led to Nagendra Babu producing a sequel — 'Soggade Chinni Nayana 2' — which Posani was originally supposed to write. The project stalled, but the fact that a producer banked a sequel based on their pairing shows how much that one film clicked.
