Anand Babu & Ramya Krishnan Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1980s belonged to Partha Gnabagam Illayo; the 1990s to Vaaname Ellai. Anand Babu acted in every film; Ramya Krishnan acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• For their first film together, Partha Gnabagam Illayo (1985), director Manivannan cast Anand Babu and Ramya Krishnan as a fresh pair — but Ramya was just 15 and had to get special permission from her mother to act opposite a male lead.
• In Sigaram (1991), Anand Babu played a hot-headed boxer and Ramya Krishnan played his love interest who also trains him. She reportedly pushed him to do his own stunts in the ring, and he later said her intensity made him take the role more seriously.
• Ramya Krishnan and Anand Babu stayed close friends after Vaaname Ellai (1992). She even attended his wedding in the late 1990s, and he once said in an interview that she was the only co-star who called him by his real name, not his screen name.
• Anand Babu once told a Tamil magazine: 'Ramya was just a kid when we first shot together, but she had the confidence of a veteran. She made me look good in every scene.'
• Their third film Vaaname Ellai (1992) was the first Tamil movie to feature a female police officer as the lead — Ramya Krishnan's character directly inspired later cop roles for actresses in Tamil cinema, like in the 2000s.
