Partnership facts

- Manoj K. Jayan once said in a 2007 interview: 'Reemma is the only co-star who would correct my Tamil diction on set without making me feel stupid. She'd whisper the line, I'd repeat it, and we'd move on.'
- Their pairing in Dhool (2003) directly led to the trend of casting Malayalam actors as stylish villains in Tamil masala films. After Manoj K. Jayan's performance, directors started actively scouting Kerala for antagonists.
