Ajith Kumar & Nassar Movies Together List — 7 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Amarkalam; the 2010s to Veeram. Ajith Kumar acted in every film; Nassar acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Amarkalam (1999), Ajith and Nassar's father-son confrontation scene — where Nassar's character slaps Ajith — is still replayed on Tamil TV. That raw anger between them became the emotional core of the film.
• Amarkalam (1999) was the film that turned Ajith into a mass action hero. Nassar played his strict father, and their on-screen friction directly boosted Ajith's 'angry young man' image — a career pivot that defined the next decade for him.
• Nassar once said in an interview: 'Ajith is the only actor who called me 'appa' (father) even off-screen after Amarkalam. That respect stayed.'
• Veeram (2014) was their highest-grossing collaboration, collecting over ₹50 crore at the box office. It also marked the longest gap between their films — 14 years after Unnai Kodu Ennai Tharuven (2000).
• In Amaravathi (1993), their first film together, Nassar played a villain who kills Ajith's character. That death scene — Ajith being stabbed — is still remembered by fans as the moment a young, raw Ajith first showed his 'scream in pain' acting.
• Unnai Kodu Ennai Tharuven (2000) was a rare romantic film where Nassar played Ajith's supportive friend, not a father or villain. It flopped hard, and they never tried a buddy dynamic again — sticking to family roles in all later films.
