The Posani Krishna Murali & Vidyullekha Raman partnership
Between 2015 and 2021, they barely worked apart — 8 films in 6 years. For 6 years, a Posani–Vidyullekha film arrived almost every year. From Bhale Manchi Roju (2015) to Gully Rowdy (2021).
Maharshi is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Bhale Manchi Roju (2015).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 88% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Maharshi; the 2020s to Gully Rowdy. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Vidyullekha Raman acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Posani Krishna Murali personally recommended Vidyullekha Raman for the role of his daughter in 'Bhale Manchi Roju' (2015) after seeing her comic timing in a stage play. The director was initially hesitant because she was relatively unknown in Telugu cinema at the time.
- In 'Anando Brahma' (2017), Posani and Vidyullekha improvised an entire 4-minute argument scene on set without a script. The director let the camera roll because their back-and-forth was so natural — that scene became the film's most shared clip on social media.
- Their pairing in 'Achari America Yaatra' (2018) directly led to Vidyullekha being cast in a similar comic-relief daughter role in two other Telugu films that year — both producers admitted they greenlit her because of how she bounced off Posani in that hit.
- On the sets of 'Maharshi' (2019), Posani would bring homemade pickles from his village for Vidyullekha every single day. She later said in an interview that he treated her like his real daughter, even scolding her for not eating properly during long shoots.
- Vidyullekha Raman said about Posani: 'He never let me feel like a supporting actor. In every scene we shared, he would adjust his dialogue delivery to make sure my punchlines landed first.' — from a 2019 interview with The Hindu.
- In 'Gully Rowdy' (2021), Posani deliberately slowed down his usual rapid-fire dialogue delivery to match Vidyullekha's more measured comic rhythm. He told the director that their scenes would only work if he let her set the tempo — a rare move from an actor known for dominating every conversation on screen.
