The Samuthirakani & Munish Kanth partnership
From Kennedy Club (2019) to Walter (2020). Walter is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Kennedy Club (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Kennedy Club; the 2020s to Walter. Samuthirakani acted in every film; Munish Kanth acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Samuthirakani handpicked Munish Kanth for Kennedy Club after seeing him in a small role in a TV serial. The director of that serial warned Kani that Munish was 'too raw' — Kani bet on him anyway.
- On the sets of Ettuthikkum Para, Samuthirakani would deliberately mess up his lines in the first take to make Munish Kanth laugh and loosen up. Munish later said that trick helped him stop overthinking his performance.
- During the shoot of Walter, Munish Kanth's father passed away. Samuthirakani quietly paid for the funeral and didn't tell anyone until Munish mentioned it in an interview two years later.
- Munish Kanth once said in a press meet: 'Kani sir doesn't just direct you — he becomes the character with you in the rehearsal room. By the time the camera rolls, you've already done the scene 20 times in your head.'
- The success of Kennedy Club and Ettuthikkum Para back-to-back convinced producer S. R. Prabhu to greenlight a third film with the pair — Walter — which became the highest-rated of their three collaborations.
