Pandu and Pyramid Natarajan appeared together in 5 Tamil films between 1996 and 2002. Their highest-rated collaboration was Villain (2002 — 5.9/10). Films span Enakkoru Magan Pirappan (1996) through Villain (2002).
The Pandu & Pyramid Natarajan partnership
Between 1996 and 2002, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 6 years. 2002 was their peak — 4 films in twelve months. For 6 years, a Pandu–Pyramid film arrived almost every year.
They saved their best for last — Villain (5.9/10) came 6 years in. From Enakkoru Magan Pirappan (1996) to Villain (2002).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Enakkoru Magan Pirappan; the 2000s to Villain. Pandu acted in every film; Pyramid Natarajan acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Pandu was a veteran character actor who had never directed before. Pyramid Natarajan, a producer, took a huge gamble by letting him direct 'Azhagi' (2002). That film became Pandu's directorial debut.
- On the sets of 'Charlie Chaplin' (2002), Pandu let Natarajan's production team handle the comedy timing. Natarajan himself would step in to re-block scenes when the slapstick wasn't landing. It was a rare case of a producer directing the director's comedy.
- Pandu and Natarajan had a handshake deal for all four films in 2002. No written contracts. They planned the entire year's slate over a single cup of tea at a small canteen in Kodambakkam.
- Because of 'Villain' (2002), Pyramid Natarajan started casting Pandu as a director in other producers' films. That single collaboration opened the door for Pandu to direct three more movies outside their partnership.
