The Vijay & Asin Thottumkal partnership
From Sivakasi (2005) to Kaavalan (2011). It started with Sivakasi (2005).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Pokkiri; the 2010s to Kaavalan. Vijay acted in every film; Asin Thottumkal acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Pokkiri (2007) was the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year, and Vijay and Asin's pairing was a major reason it ran for over 200 days in theaters.
- In Kaavalan (2011), the scene where Vijay's character repeatedly calls Asin's character 'Mala' in a teasing tone became a meme template in Tamil social media for years.
- Asin once said in an interview: 'Vijay is the only co-star who made me laugh so much on set that we had to retake scenes. He's a natural comedian.'
- After Sivakasi (2005) flopped, Vijay and Asin chose to reunite for Pokkiri (2007) — and that film turned Vijay into a bankable action star, changing his career trajectory completely.
- The 'En Aasai Mythili' song from Pokkiri (2007), featuring Vijay and Asin in a rain-soaked duet, is still played at Tamil wedding receptions as a must-play romantic number.
- Kaavalan (2011) was Asin's last Tamil film before she moved full-time to Bollywood — making Vijay her final Tamil co-star.
