The Veerabhadram Chowdary & Madhusudhan Rao partnership
From Andaru Bagundali Andulo Nenundali (2022) to Anaganaga Oka Raju (2026). Their most recent film, Anaganaga Oka Raju, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. Naa Saami Ranga is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Andaru Bagundali Andulo Nenundali (2022).
The shape of the work
Veerabhadram Chowdary acted in every film; Madhusudhan Rao acted in all of them. Strictly Telugu cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Madhusudhan Rao was a first-time director when he approached Veerabhadram Chowdary for 'Andaru Bagundali Andulo Nenundali' (2022). Chowdary, a veteran producer, almost passed because the script needed a big star. Rao convinced him by showing a 10-minute visual pitch on his phone.
- On 'Naa Saami Ranga' (2024), Rao would block entire action sequences in one take. Chowdary then stepped in to re-shoot the emotional beats, slowing the pace. That push-pull — Rao’s speed vs Chowdary’s patience — is why the film’s climax works.
- Because 'Naa Saami Ranga' (2024) earned 55 crores, a small-budget village drama trend started in Telugu cinema. At least three 2025 releases directly copied its poster style — a lone hero standing in a field at sunset.
- Chowdary and Rao have a standing rule: no phone calls after 9 PM during a shoot. They text instead. Rao says it’s because Chowdary once yelled at him for calling at 11 PM about a costume change on 'Andaru Bagundali'.
- Rao told a press meet in 2024: 'Chowdary garu is the only producer who asks me if I’ve eaten before asking about the budget. That’s why I keep coming back.'
