Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Jayaprakash and Soori appeared together in 12 Tamil films between 2010 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Naan Mahaan Alla (2010 — 7.0/10). Films span Naan Mahaan Alla (2010) through Maaman (2025).
The Jayaprakash & Soori partnership
2014 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 15 years, a Jayaprakash–Soori film arrived almost every year. From Naan Mahaan Alla (2010) to Maaman (2025).
Their most recent film, Maaman, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active. Naan Mahaan Alla is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 83% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Naan Mahaan Alla; the 2020s to Maaman. Jayaprakash acted in every film; Soori acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Soori was a struggling comedian when Jayaprakash, already a respected character actor, personally recommended him for a role in Ayyanar (2010). That film gave Soori his first real break in Tamil cinema.
- In Idhu Namma Aalu (2016), Jayaprakash played the strict father while Soori played the comic sidekick. Soori improvised most of his lines on set, and Jayaprakash would deliberately pause his reactions to let Soori's punchlines land harder — a rhythm they perfected over five films.
- Jayaprakash and Soori share a real-life mentor-mentee bond. Soori has said in interviews that Jayaprakash taught him how to modulate his voice for comedy scenes — a skill Soori later passed on to younger comedians.
- Soori once said about Jayaprakash: 'He is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I'm not in the scene. I used to stand off-camera just to watch him work.'
- Their pairing in Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2022) — where Jayaprakash played a villain and Soori a comic relief — was so well-received that director Pandiraj wrote a spin-off scene for them in the same film. That scene became a viral meme template on Tamil social media.
- In Kaththi Sandai (2016), Jayaprakash played a menacing antagonist while Soori played the hero's friend. Their only shared scene was a tense confrontation — and Soori later admitted he was genuinely nervous because Jayaprakash stayed in character even between takes, glaring at him for hours.
