Long-Term Partnership

The Posani Krishna Murali & Meka Srikanth partnership

After 12 years apart, they came back together for Dussasana (2011). They didn't share a set between 1999 and 2011. They saved their best for last — Kothala Rayudu (7.2/10) came 23 years in.

Their work runs across 3 decades of Telugu cinema. From Preyasi Raave (1999) to Kothala Rayudu (2022).

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Preyasi Raave; the 2020s to Kothala Rayudu. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Their first film together, Dussasana (2011), almost didn't happen. Srikanth was initially hesitant to play the villain opposite Posani's hero, but Posani personally convinced him by rewriting the role to have more shades.
  • In Malligadu Marriage Bureau (2014), Posani deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to match Srikanth's natural rhythm. Srikanth later said that Posani's patience on set made him feel safe enough to try comedy for the first time in his career.
  • During the shoot of D Ante D (2015), Posani and Srikanth shared a room in a budget lodge for three weeks. They would rehearse scenes at 2 AM, waking up the neighbors, who complained to the production team.
  • Their hit film Raa Raa (2018) directly inspired a wave of small-budget buddy comedies in Telugu cinema, with at least three producers approaching Posani to replicate the formula with other actors.
  • Srikanth once said in an interview: 'Posani is the only co-star who can make me laugh even when the camera is rolling. We ruined so many takes because of that.'
  • In Kothala Rayudu (2022), Posani wrote a 10-minute monologue specifically for Srikanth's character. Srikanth delivered it in one take, and Posani later admitted he kept the camera rolling just to watch him perform.
