The Livingston & Lollu Sabha Maaran partnership
Between 2022 and 2026, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 4 years. For 4 years, a Livingston–Lollu film arrived almost every year. They saved their best for last — Lockdown (7.0/10) came 4 years in.
From Naai Sekar (2022) to Lockdown (2026). Their most recent film, Lockdown, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
Livingston acted in every film; Lollu Sabha Maaran acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Livingston and Maaran first teamed up for Naai Sekar (2022) because the director needed a quick replacement. The original actor dropped out last minute, and Livingston recommended Maaran after seeing him in a stage play. They shot the entire film in 18 days.
- In Naai Sekar (2022), Maaran did all his own stunts — including a scene where he jumps into a sewage canal. Livingston refused to shoot until the crew got him a tetanus shot. That argument became a running joke on set.
- During the Kannitheevu (2023) shoot, Livingston and Maaran shared a room in a budget lodge for 40 days. Maaran cooked sambar rice every night because Livingston can't eat spicy food. They still call each other 'roomie' in interviews.
- Maaran once said in a 2023 podcast: 'Livingston doesn't act with you — he acts at you. He pushes you so hard that you forget the camera is there. After Naai Sekar, I had bruises for a week.'
- Their second Naai Sekar (2022) — the one with a 5.5 rating — was originally a direct-to-TV release. But after their first film got a small cult following on YouTube, a streaming platform picked it up and gave it a theatrical window. That deal funded Kannitheevu.
