The Vivek & Soori partnership
After 14 years apart, they came back together for Sakalakala Vallavan (2015). They didn't share a set between 2001 and 2015. From Ullam Kollai Poguthae (2001) to Mupparimanam (2017).
It started with Ullam Kollai Poguthae (2001).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Ullam Kollai Poguthae; the 2010s to Mupparimanam. Vivek acted in every film; Soori acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vivek and Soori first shared screen space in 'Ullam Kollai Poguthae' (2001) because the director needed a comedian who could match Vivek's rapid-fire one-liners. Soori was still a stage actor then, and Vivek personally recommended him after seeing his live show.
- In 'Sakalakala Vallavan' (2015), Vivek deliberately slowed his delivery to let Soori's physical comedy breathe. Soori later said that Vivek would pause mid-scene and nod at him — a signal to take over with a slapstick bit. That rhythm made their banter feel like a tennis rally.
- During the shoot of 'Mupparimanam' (2017), Vivek and Soori shared a room in a small lodge near Tenkasi. Every night, they would rewrite the next day's comedy scenes on hotel napkins — no director involved. Soori kept those napkins in a diary.
- Their double-act in 'Ullam Kollai Poguthae' (2001) directly inspired director Rajesh to cast both of them again in 'Sakalakala Vallavan' (2015) — a rare 14-year gap between collaborations. No other comedy duo in Tamil cinema has reunited after such a long break.
