The Jayaprakash & Vanitha Krishnachandran partnership
From Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal (2014) to Nambiar (2016). It started with Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal (2014).
The shape of the work
Jayaprakash acted in every film; Vanitha Krishnachandran acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vanitha Krishnachandran was the one who brought Jayaprakash into 'Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal' (2014). She was already cast as the female lead and recommended him to the director after they worked together on a TV serial.
- In 'Bramman' (2014), Jayaprakash and Vanitha Krishnachandran played a married couple. Their real-life comfort with each other made the domestic squabble scenes feel so natural that the director let them improvise most of the dialogue.
- They were close friends before any of these films. Vanitha Krishnachandran has said in interviews that Jayaprakash was the only co-star she'd call for personal advice during shoots.
- Their pairing in 'Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal' (2014) was so well-received that the director of 'Nambiar' (2016) specifically wrote the female lead role for Vanitha Krishnachandran to pair her with Jayaprakash again.
- Vanitha Krishnachandran once said: 'Jayaprakash makes you forget the camera is there. With him, I never felt like I was acting — we were just talking.'
