The Ajith Kumar & Prakash Raj partnership
After 9 years apart, they came back together for Paramasivan (2006). They didn't share a set between 1997 and 2006. From Aasai (1995) to Paramasivan (2006).
The played out closed with Paramasivan in 2006. It started with Aasai (1995).
The shape of the work
The 1990s belonged to Aasai; the 2000s to Paramasivan. Ajith Kumar acted in every film; Prakash Raj acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Aasai (1995), Prakash Raj played the villain who blackmails Ajith's character. That role made Tamil audiences hate him so much that people spat on the screen during shows. It launched his career as the go-to antagonist in Tamil cinema.
- Aasai was Ajith's first major hit after a string of flops. Prakash Raj's menacing performance opposite him gave Ajith the edge he needed to be taken seriously as a lead actor. Without that film, Ajith might not have become a star.
- Their third film together, Paramasivan (2006), was a big-budget action film directed by S. Shankar. It was one of the most expensive Tamil films of that year, but it bombed at the box office. That failure ended their on-screen pairing for good.
- Prakash Raj once said in an interview: 'Ajith is a very secure actor. He never felt threatened by a strong co-star. That's why we worked well together.' He was referring to how Ajith let him steal scenes in Aasai.
- In Raasi (1997), Ajith and Prakash Raj shared a famous comedy scene where Prakash Raj's character tries to cheat Ajith's character in a card game. That scene is still shared on WhatsApp groups as a meme for 'getting caught red-handed'.
