Pooja Ramachandran & Raja Ravindra Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

Pooja Ramachandran acted in every film; Raja Ravindra acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Before 'Power Play' (2021), neither had done a full-on comedy together. The director paired them specifically because he wanted a 'serious face meets chaotic energy' dynamic — and Raja Ravindra admitted in an interview that Pooja's timing forced him to loosen up.
• In 'My Name Is Shruthi' (2022), Pooja Ramachandran played the emotionally volatile lead while Raja Ravindra anchored every scene as the calm listener. He later told a behind-the-scenes crew that he deliberately underacted so her outbursts would hit harder — a rhythm they perfected over four films.
• During the shoot of 'Ippudu Kaaka Inkeppudu' (2021), Raja Ravindra would bring Pooja homemade biryani from his wife's kitchen every Friday. She later joked that she signed 'Boyfriend For Hire' (2022) just to keep the biryani coming.
• Raja Ravindra said about Pooja after wrapping 'Power Play': 'She doesn't act like a heroine waiting for the hero to lead. She comes in with her own plan. I had to keep up.'
• Their pairing in 'My Name Is Shruthi' (2022) directly led to the director casting them again in a short film festival entry the next year — a dark comedy that never got a theatrical release but won Best Ensemble at a Hyderabad indie fest.
