Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Sarath Kumar and Radha Ravi appeared together in 5 Tamil films between 1990 and 2015. Their highest-rated collaboration was En Kitta Mothathey (1990 — 7.5/10). Films span En Kitta Mothathey (1990) through Sandamarutham (2015).
The Sarath Kumar & Radha Ravi partnership
After 15 years apart, they came back together for 1977 (2009). They didn't share a set between 1994 and 2009. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.
The work is uneven: En Kitta Mothathey (7.5) at one end, Namma Annachi (3.7) at the other. From En Kitta Mothathey (1990) to Sandamarutham (2015).
The shape of the work
The 1990s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to En Kitta Mothathey; the 2010s to Sandamarutham. Sarath Kumar acted in every film; Radha Ravi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- For their first film together, En Kitta Mothathey (1990), director R. Sundarrajan cast Sarath Kumar as the hero and Radha Ravi as the villain. Radha Ravi was already a known face, but Sarath was still finding his footing. The pairing clicked so hard that the film became a sleeper hit — and they were immediately paired again the next year.
- In Chithirai Pookal (1991), Radha Ravi played the older, authoritative figure while Sarath Kumar played the hot-headed younger man. Their scenes worked because Radha Ravi deliberately slowed his dialogue delivery, forcing Sarath to match his rhythm — which made the tension between them feel real, not rehearsed.
- Radha Ravi was a mentor figure to Sarath Kumar off-screen. During the shoot of Namma Annachi (1994), Radha Ravi would stay back after pack-up to rehearse scenes with Sarath, even though he had no obligation to. Sarath later said in an interview that Radha Ravi taught him how to 'hold a pause' on screen.
- Sarath Kumar once said about Radha Ravi: 'He never let me act lazy. Even in a bad film, he would push me to give my best. That’s why I trusted him completely in Namma Annachi.'
- Their 2009 film 1977 was a comeback of sorts for both — it was Radha Ravi’s first major release in years, and Sarath Kumar produced it himself. The film didn’t set the box office on fire, but it directly led to Sarath Kumar producing two more period dramas in the next five years.
