Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Vijay and Sriman appeared together in 13 Tamil films between 1997 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was Master (2020 — 7.4/10). Films span Love Today (1997) through Varisu (2023).
The Vijay & Sriman partnership
Their work runs across 4 decades of Tamil cinema. They saved their best for last — Master (7.4/10) came 23 years in. From Love Today (1997) to Varisu (2023).
Their most recent film, Varisu, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. Master is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Love Today; the 2020s to Master. Vijay acted in every film; Sriman acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vijay and Sriman's 2001 film 'Friends' was a turning point for both — it was Vijay's first major hit after a string of flops, and it established Sriman as a reliable comic sidekick in Tamil cinema.
- In 'Friends' (2001), the scene where Vijay and Sriman try to hide a dead body in a hospital is still quoted by Tamil audiences — especially Sriman's panicked line 'Enna da idhu, body ah?'
- Their 2007 film 'Pokkiri' was the highest-grossing Tamil film of that year, collecting over ₹50 crore at the box office — and Sriman's role as the loyal friend 'Guru' was his most commercially successful collaboration with Vijay.
- Sriman once said in an interview: 'Vijay and I have a chemistry that doesn't need dialogue. In 'Pokkiri', we just looked at each other and the audience laughed.'
- After 'Sura' (2010) bombed hard with a 2.9 IMDb rating, Vijay and Sriman didn't work together for seven years — their 2017 comeback 'Bairavaa' marked Sriman's return as Vijay's on-screen friend after a long gap.
- In 'Master' (2020), Sriman played a small but memorable role as a prison warden — and his one scene with Vijay, where they exchange a silent nod, became a fan-favorite moment on social media.
