Chalapathi Rao & Brahmaji Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Sri Ramulayya; the 2020s to Bangarraju. Chalapathi Rao acted in every film; Brahmaji acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Chalapathi Rao personally recommended Brahmaji for a key role in Sri Ramulayya (1999) after the director struggled to find the right actor. That film became their first collaboration.
• In Jil (2015), Brahmaji played the comic sidekick while Chalapathi Rao played the hero's father. Their scenes together had no overlap — they never shared a single frame, yet both elevated the film's family track separately.
• Soggade Chinni Nayana (2016) was a surprise hit that revived the rural fantasy genre in Telugu. The success of that film directly led to Bangarraju (2022), where both actors returned — making them the only pair to bookend that franchise.
• On the sets of Ra Ra Krishnayya (2014), Chalapathi Rao and Brahmaji discovered they shared the same hometown — Guntur. They spent evenings swapping stories about local food joints, which became a running joke on set.
• Brahmaji once said in an interview: 'Chalapathi Rao garu is the only co-actor who calls me before every shoot to ask if I've eaten. That's our bond — food and films.'
