Anandaraj and Yogi Babu appeared together in 13 Tamil films between 2018 and 2026. Their highest-rated collaboration was Bigil (2019 — 6.8/10). Films span Gulaebaghavali (2018) through Love Insurance Kompany (2026).
The Anandaraj & Yogi Babu partnership
Between 2018 and 2026, they barely worked apart — 13 films in 8 years. 2019 was their peak — 5 films in twelve months. For 8 years, a Anandaraj–Yogi film arrived almost every year.
From Gulaebaghavali (2018) to Love Insurance Kompany (2026). Their most recent film, Love Insurance Kompany, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Bigil; the 2020s to Varisu. Anandaraj acted in every film; Yogi Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- They first shared screen space in Silukkuvarupatti Singam (2018) because director R. K. Selvamani needed a bulky villain and a comic sidekick who could trade insults without breaking character. Anandaraj’s booming voice and Yogi Babu’s deadpan timing clicked so well that the film’s hit status made producers immediately pair them again in LKG the next year.
- In Bigil (2019), Anandaraj played the menacing coach and Yogi Babu played a nervous assistant — but the real magic happened off-script. Yogi Babu would deliberately flub his lines to make Anandaraj break character, and Anandaraj would retaliate by improvising threats that left Yogi Babu genuinely laughing. Director Atlee kept those takes in the final cut.
- Their back-and-forth in LKG (2019) — where Anandaraj plays a corrupt politician and Yogi Babu his hapless sidekick — directly inspired the 2022 web series 'Vadhandhi' to cast Yogi Babu in a rare serious role. The show’s creator said he saw Yogi Babu’s range in that film’s silent reaction shots opposite Anandaraj’s shouting.
- On the sets of Jackpot (2019), Anandaraj noticed Yogi Babu was skipping meals to save money. Without telling him, Anandaraj added Yogi Babu’s name to the catering contract as a co-signer, ensuring he ate properly for the rest of the shoot. Yogi Babu found out only when the producer thanked him for the arrangement months later.
- Yogi Babu once said in a 2020 interview: 'Anandaraj sir doesn't act with me — he fights with me on screen and feeds me off it. That's why I never say no to any film he's in.'
