The Pandu & Chaams partnership
From Kanchana 2 (2015) to Indha Nilai Maarum (2020). It started with Kanchana 2 (2015).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Kanchana 2; the 2020s to Indha Nilai Maarum. Pandu acted in every film; Chaams acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Pandu and Chaams first met on the sets of 'Kanchana 2' (2015) — Chaams was a last-minute replacement for a comedian who dropped out. Pandu, who was already cast, vouched for him to the director after seeing him perform at a local stage show.
- In 'Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva' (2017), Pandu would deliberately flub his lines to make Chaams laugh on camera. The director kept those takes because Chaams’ genuine irritation became the joke — it’s the scene where he slaps Pandu repeatedly.
- Their third film 'Indha Nilai Maarum' (2020) was the first Tamil movie to get a direct OTT release during the pandemic lockdown. It became a sleeper hit, and its success convinced other producers to skip theatres for small-budget comedies.
- During the shoot of 'Kanchana 2', Pandu and Chaams shared a room in a budget lodge for three months. They still call each other 'roomie' and have a standing bet: whoever gets a film offer first buys the other biryani.
- Chaams once said in a 2021 interview: 'Pandu is the only actor who can make me forget my lines. He’ll stare at me with those big eyes and I’ll just lose it. We’ve never had a scripted scene together — it’s all chaos.'
