Delhi Ganesh and Radha Ravi appeared together in 8 Tamil films between 1994 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was Priyanka (1994 — 6.8/10). Films span Priyanka (1994) through Jambu Maharishi (2023).
The Delhi Ganesh & Radha Ravi partnership
After 13 years apart, they came back together for Kola Kolaya Mundhirika (2010). They didn't share a set between 1997 and 2010. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.
From Priyanka (1994) to Jambu Maharishi (2023). Their most recent film, Jambu Maharishi, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Priyanka; the 2020s to Madurai Manikkuravar. Delhi Ganesh acted in every film; Radha Ravi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Delhi Ganesh and Radha Ravi first shared screen space in Gandhi Pirantha Mann (1995) because the director needed two veteran actors who could play opposite each other without any ego — and both agreed to shoot in a single cramped set for 10 days straight.
- In Madurai Manikkuravar (2021), Radha Ravi deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in every scene with Delhi Ganesh, because he knew Ganesh’s comic timing worked best when he had space to react — so Ravi fed him pauses like a straight man feeding a punchline.
- During the shoot of Jambu Maharishi (2023), Delhi Ganesh and Radha Ravi would share a single cup of filter coffee between takes — a ritual they started on Gandhi Pirantha Mann and kept up for 28 years, even when the unit offered separate cups.
- Radha Ravi once said about Delhi Ganesh: 'He is the only actor who can make me forget my lines because I’m busy watching him act.' — said during a 2022 interview about Madurai Manikkuravar.
- The only reason Madurai Manikkuravar (2021) got made was because Delhi Ganesh personally called Radha Ravi to ask him to play the temple priest — Ravi had initially refused the role, but Ganesh convinced him over a 45-minute phone call.
