Ajith Kumar and Sriman appeared together in 4 Tamil films between 1997 and 2012. Their highest-rated collaboration was Dheena (2001 — 6.1/10). Films span Raasi (1997) through Billa II (2012).
The Ajith Kumar & Sriman partnership
Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema. From Raasi (1997) to Billa II (2012). It started with Raasi (1997).
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Raasi; the 2010s to Billa II. Ajith Kumar acted in every film; Sriman acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ajith personally called Sriman to cast him as the villain in Dheena (2001). That film became Ajith's first major commercial hit as a solo hero and turned Sriman into one of Tamil cinema's most hated antagonists overnight.
- Sriman once said in an interview: 'Ajith told me, "You have to play the villain in Dheena. Only you can give that intensity." I didn't even ask for the script. I just said yes.'
- The 'Dheena' climax fight between Ajith and Sriman is still replayed on Tamil TV every Deepavali. Their face-off in the rain became a template for hero-villain showdowns in the 2000s.
- Their first film together, Raasi (1997), was Ajith's 25th film and Sriman's debut. It ran for over 100 days in Chennai — a rare feat for a newcomer pairing.
- After Dheena, Sriman was typecast as a villain for nearly a decade. He later admitted that Ajith's trust in him for that role both made and broke his career.
- In Billa II (2012), Sriman played a cop hunting Ajith's character. Their cat-and-mouse scenes were the only part of the film that critics unanimously praised — especially the interrogation room face-off.
