Yogi Babu & Mime Gopi Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Mo; the 2020s to Haraa. Yogi Babu acted in every film; Mime Gopi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Yogi Babu and Mime Gopi first met on the set of Mo (2016) because the director, S. P. Jhananathan, specifically wanted two actors with strong comic timing who could also handle dark material. Neither had worked together before, and the pairing was a gamble that paid off.
• In Kattappavae Kaanom (2017), Yogi Babu’s frantic, high-energy delivery forced Mime Gopi to slow down and play the straight man. Gopi later said in an interview that Babu’s pace made him realize he had to hold his pauses longer for the comedy to land.
• Their hit film Lisaa (2019) directly launched the career of director A. L. Raja, who had never helmed a feature before. Raja cast them as a bickering couple, and the film’s success got him his next three projects.
• On the sets of Haraa (2024), Yogi Babu and Mime Gopi shared a single vanity van because the budget was tight. They ended up writing alternate dialogue for each other’s scenes during the breaks, which the director kept in the final cut.
• Mime Gopi once said about Yogi Babu: 'He’s the only actor who can make me laugh so hard I forget my lines. We had to do six retakes for one scene in Lisaa because I kept breaking character.'
