Oviya & Yogi Babu Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Silukkuvarupatti Singam; the 2020s to Rajabheema. Oviya acted in every film; Yogi Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Yogi Babu was still a struggling comedian when Oviya specifically asked the director of Hello Naan Pei Pesuren (2016) to cast him as her on-screen husband. She had seen his work in a small TV show and insisted he was perfect for the role.
• In Silukkuvarupatti Singam (2018), Oviya deliberately slowed down her dialogue delivery to match Yogi Babu's deadpan rhythm. She told the director that his timing worked best when she left pauses for him to fill — and that became the film's comic backbone.
• The success of 90 ML (2019) — a sleeper hit — directly led to a wave of Tamil buddy comedies built around mismatched male-female duos. Producers started actively pairing a 'quirky heroine' with a 'comedian hero' after seeing audiences cheer for Oviya and Yogi Babu's banter.
• During the shoot of Kanchana 3 (2019), Oviya and Yogi Babu had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the other a box of mangoes from the local market. Yogi Babu lost every single day — and still jokes that Oviya owes him a fruit shop.
• Yogi Babu once said: 'Oviya is the only co-star who makes me feel like I'm the hero. She never treats me like a comedian — she treats me like her equal on screen.' He said this during a 2019 press meet for 90 ML.
