The Vidhya & Raghu Babu partnership
Between 2008 and 2015, they barely worked apart — 7 films in 7 years. For 7 years, a Vidhya–Raghu film arrived almost every year. From Kantri (2008) to James Bond (2015).
It started with Kantri (2008).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 71% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Ontari; the 2010s to Adhurs. Vidhya acted in every film; Raghu Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vidhya was a newcomer when she signed Kantri (2008). Raghu Babu, already a seasoned character actor, personally requested the director to cast her opposite him after seeing her screen test.
- In Ontari (2008), Raghu Babu deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in their scenes together. He later said he did this so Vidhya's reactions would land better — she was still learning to match his comic timing.
- During the shoot of James Bond (2015), Vidhya and Raghu Babu had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the entire crew chai. Raghu Babu lost every single day.
- Their pairing in Kantri (2008) was so well-received that the director of Ontari (2008) specifically rewrote the female lead role to cast Vidhya opposite Raghu Babu again — a rare instance of a character actor's pairing driving a script change.
- Raghu Babu once told a fan magazine: 'Vidhya is the only co-star who made me forget my lines because I was laughing so hard at her improvisations. She made me work harder.'
