The Piaa Bajpai & Nassar partnership
Between 2008 and 2014, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 6 years. From Poi Solla Porom (2008) to Koottam (2014). Poi Solla Porom is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Poi Solla Porom (2008).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Poi Solla Porom; the 2010s to Dalam. Piaa Bajpai acted in every film; Nassar acted in all of them. Mostly Tamil, with 1 film in Telugu.
Partnership facts
- Nassar personally recommended Piaa Bajpai to director Mohan Raja for 'Poi Solla Porom' (2008). He had seen her in a short film and told Raja she had the right comic timing for the role.
- In 'Dalam' (2013), Nassar deliberately slowed down his delivery in every scene with Piaa. He told her he wanted her natural nervous energy to lead the rhythm, so he played off her pace instead of setting it.
- During 'Koottam' (2014), Piaa and Nassar would rehearse their scenes in Tamil and English simultaneously. Nassar would translate the Tamil lines into English for her on the spot, then they'd run both versions before the director called action.
- Piaa Bajpai once said in an interview: 'Nassar sir didn't treat me like a newcomer. He treated me like a co-actor. That's rare in Tamil cinema.'
- Their comic pairing in 'Poi Solla Porom' (2008) directly led to Nassar recommending Piaa for a role in 'Saroja' (2008) — the same year. That film became a bigger hit and put her on the map in Tamil cinema.
