Vijay & Black Pandi Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Ghilli; the 2010s to Velayudham. Vijay acted in every film; Black Pandi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Their first film together, Ghilli (2004), turned Vijay from a struggling actor into a bona fide star. Black Pandi's action choreography gave Vijay the mass-hero image he needed — and the film ran for over 200 days in theaters.
• The 'Mappillai' fight scene in Ghilli (2004) — where Vijay takes on a dozen goons in a wedding hall — is still replayed in Tamil weddings and memes. Black Pandi designed that entire sequence to be a single, unbroken shot of mayhem.
• Black Pandi once said in an interview: 'Vijay sir doesn't just act — he fights with his eyes. I only had to show him the moves once, and he owned them.' He was talking about the climax fight in Velayudham (2011).
• Ghilli (2004) was the first Tamil film to cross ₹50 crore at the box office. Black Pandi's high-octane stunts were a major reason audiences came back for repeat viewings.
• In Jilla (2014), Black Pandi choreographed a fight where Vijay uses a cycle chain as a weapon. That scene became so iconic that fans still bring cycle chains to Vijay's public events as a tribute.
• After Ghilli (2004), Black Pandi became Vijay's go-to stunt choreographer for a decade. Their three films together defined the 'Vijay mass action' template — loud, inventive, and always with a crowd-pleasing twist.
