Posani Krishna Murali and Subbaraju appeared together in 5 Telugu films between 2015 and 2022. Their highest-rated collaboration was Temper (2015 — 7.0/10). Films span Temper (2015) through Sarkaru Vaari Paata (2022).
The Posani Krishna Murali & Subbaraju partnership
Between 2015 and 2022, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 7 years. From Temper (2015) to Sarkaru Vaari Paata (2022). Temper is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Temper (2015).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Temper ; the 2020s to Sarileru Neekevvaru. Posani Krishna Murali acted in every film; Subbaraju acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Majili (2019), Subbaraju played the villain who torments the hero. But on set, he kept cracking jokes between takes. Posani Krishna Murali, playing the hero's father, would deadpan him into silence. That push-pull — Subbaraju's energy vs Posani's stillness — made their confrontation scenes feel genuinely tense.
- Posani Krishna Murali is 20 years older than Subbaraju, but they share the same hometown — Machilipatnam. During the shoot of Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020), they'd spend lunch breaks speaking in their native dialect, which confused the rest of the cast.
- They first met on the sets of Majili (2019) because the director, Shiva Nirvana, specifically wanted Posani to play the father of Subbaraju's character. Posani later said he agreed only after hearing Subbaraju's dialogue delivery in a test read — he felt the younger actor's voice had the right 'weight' for their scenes.
- Their pairing in Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020) — Posani as a corrupt politician, Subbaraju as his henchman — became a template for villain-father-son dynamics in Telugu mass movies. At least two 2022 films (including a Mahesh Babu project) directly copied that power structure.
- Subbaraju said in a 2021 interview: 'Posani garu doesn't act. He just stands there and the scene works. I had to work twice as hard to match his silence.'
