The Vaibhav Reddy & Munish Kanth partnership
From Petromax (2019) to Aalambana (2023). Their most recent film, Aalambana, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. Petromax is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Petromax (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Petromax; the 2020s to Aalambana. Vaibhav Reddy acted in every film; Munish Kanth acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vaibhav and Munish first teamed up for Petromax (2019) because the director wanted a pair of friends who actually looked like they'd hang out in real life. Vaibhav was already a known face, but Munish was relatively new — Vaibhav personally vouched for him to the producers.
- In Petromax, Vaibhav played the loud, impulsive friend while Munish played the quiet, anxious one. They built the comedy by letting Vaibhav set the pace and Munish react — a rhythm they kept for both Aalambana films.
- The success of Petromax (2019) directly led to the first Aalambana (2022) being greenlit. When that one did moderate business, they didn't give up — they made a second Aalambana in 2023, which became their biggest hit, crossing 40 crores.
- During the shoot of Petromax, Vaibhav and Munish shared a room for two months. They'd rehearse scenes at 2 AM in their hotel corridor because they couldn't stop laughing during takes.
- Munish Kanth once said in an interview: 'Vaibhav doesn't let me take myself seriously. If I'm overthinking a scene, he'll just do something stupid and I'll forget my anxiety. That's our secret.'
