The Vimal & Anjali partnership
From Thoonga Nagaram (2011) to Mapla Singam (2016). It started with Thoonga Nagaram (2011).
The shape of the work
Vimal acted in every film; Anjali acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vimal and Anjali first met on the set of Thoonga Nagaram (2011), but the director had to convince Anjali to sign the film — she was hesitant about playing a village girl opposite Vimal, who was still a relatively new face then.
- In Kalakalappu (2012), Vimal’s deadpan comic timing forced Anjali to sharpen her reactions on the fly — she later said in an interview that she had to 'keep up with his unpredictable pauses' during their scenes together.
- During the shoot of Mapla Singam (2016), Vimal and Anjali developed a running joke where they’d bet on who could finish their dialogue in one take first — Anjali won most of the bets, and Vimal would buy her coffee on set.
- Anjali once told a Tamil magazine: 'Vimal makes you work for the laugh. He doesn’t give you anything — you have to earn it.' She said this while promoting Kalakalappu.
- Their pairing in Thoonga Nagaram (2011) directly led to director Rajesh M. casting them again in Kalakalappu — he said their 'natural bickering energy' was exactly what his comedy script needed.
