Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Yogi Babu and Hareesh Peradi appeared together in 10 Tamil films between 2020 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Yaanai Mugathaan (2023 — 7.0/10). Films span Taana (2020) through Gatta Kusthi 2 (2026).
The Yogi Babu & Hareesh Peradi partnership
Between 2020 and 2026, they barely worked apart — 10 films in 6 years. 2025 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 6 years, a Yogi–Hareesh film arrived almost every year.
From Taana (2020) to Gatta Kusthi 2 (2026). Their most recent film, Gatta Kusthi 2, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
Yogi Babu acted in every film; Hareesh Peradi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Hareesh Peradi was actually cast first in Taana (2020). Yogi Babu came on board only after the director saw a random YouTube clip of him doing a deadpan reaction shot in a previous film. That single clip convinced the team to rewrite the entire second half around their pairing.
- In Kombu Vatcha Singamda (2022), Yogi Babu would deliberately flub his lines during rehearsals just to make Hareesh Peradi laugh. The director kept those takes — you can see Peradi barely holding it together in the final cut. That's why their banter feels so loose and real.
- Their double-act in Ayngaran (2022) directly inspired a minor trend in Tamil comedy — the 'reluctant sidekick' trope. At least three 2023 OTT comedies (including one on Amazon Prime) openly copied the dynamic where one guy panics and the other stays stone-faced.
- They never exchange phone numbers. For every film, Yogi Babu's manager texts Hareesh Peradi's assistant to set up shoot days. After Pichaikkaran 2 wrapped, they didn't speak for 14 months — then met again on set for Jadugar Ka Badla and picked up exactly where they left off, no awkwardness.
- Yogi Babu once told a behind-the-scenes crew: 'Hareesh anna is the only actor who can make me forget my lines. I look at his face and I just start laughing. That's not acting — that's a problem.'
- In Pichaikkaran 2 (2023), Hareesh Peradi insisted on doing every scene in one continuous take — no cuts. That forced Yogi Babu to stay in character without his usual comic pauses. The result? Yogi's most grounded performance in years, and the film's 35+ crore run owes a lot to that raw energy.
