The Vijay & Azhagam Perumal partnership

After 10 years apart, they came back together for Jilla (2014). They didn't share a set between 2004 and 2014. From Udhaya (2004) to Theri (2016).

Theri is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Udhaya (2004).

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Udhaya; the 2010s to Theri. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • In Theri (2016), Azhagam Perumal played the ruthless villain Kali Muniandy — and his line 'Enna koduma sir idhu?' became a meme template across Tamil social media for years.
  • Their first film together, Udhaya (2004), was Vijay's first collaboration with a then-unknown Azhagam Perumal — and it marked the start of Perumal's transition from stage actor to mainstream cinema villain.
  • Jilla (2014) was the only film where Azhagam Perumal played a comedic sidekick to Vijay, not a villain — and it still collected over ₹100 crore worldwide, their highest-grossing collaboration.
  • The fight scene in Theri (2016) where Vijay's character beats Azhagam Perumal's goons with a belt is still replayed in Tamil gyms as a workout inspiration clip.

3 films across 2 decades

The 2000s accounted for 1 film, averaging 6.5/10.

The 2010s brought 2 films together, anchored by Theri (7.0/10).
