Posani Krishna Murali & Kasi Viswanath Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2020s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Potugadu; the 2020s to Anubhavinchu Raja. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Kasi Viswanath acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Posani Krishna Murali wrote the dialogues for Pataas (2015) specifically because Kasi Viswanath asked him to bring his signature fiery, political edge to the cop character. Viswanath wanted someone who could match Nandamuri Kalyan Ram's intensity, not just write punchlines.
• On the sets of Saranam Gacchami (2021), Viswanath would let Posani rewrite entire scenes on the spot. Posani once changed a climax monologue during lunch break, and Viswanath shot it the same evening without a rehearsal.
• Posani and Viswanath have a standing rule: no phone calls after 9 PM. Posani once broke it to pitch a scene for We Love Bad Boys (2024), and Viswanath hung up saying, 'Write it down. Call me tomorrow at 6 AM.'
• The success of Pataas (2015) directly led to Kalyan Ram greenlighting two more films with the same writer-director combo. Before that, Kalyan Ram had never worked with either of them.
• Kasi Viswanath once said in an interview: 'Posani doesn't write dialogues. He throws bombs. I just decide where they land.'
