Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-02 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan appeared together in 6 Tamil films between 2005 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Mankatha (2011 — 7.1/10). Films span Ji (2005) through Good Bad Ugly (2025).
The Ajith Kumar & Trisha Krishnan partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Vidaamuyarchi (2025). They didn't share a set between 2015 and 2025. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.
Remarkably even — every film rates between 5.7 and 7.1. From Ji (2005) to Good Bad Ugly (2025).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Kireedam; the 2020s to Vidaamuyarchi. Ajith Kumar acted in every film; Trisha Krishnan acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Mankatha (2011) was the first Tamil film to cross ₹100 crore at the box office, and Ajith and Trisha were the lead pair in that historic milestone.
- After Mankatha became a blockbuster, Trisha became the only actress to star in two ₹100 crore Tamil films in 2011 — the other being with Vijay in 'Mankatha'? No, wait — she had 'Mankatha' with Ajith and 'Singam' with Suriya. But this pairing specifically proved she could anchor a mass hero film.
- In Yennai Arindhaal (2015), the scene where Ajith's character Sathyadev first sees Trisha's Hemanika at a temple — with the song 'Unakkenna Venum Sollu' — became a template for 'mature romance' in Tamil cinema, often referenced for its understated chemistry.
- Trisha once said in an interview: 'Ajith sir is very shy. On the sets of Kireedam, he would barely talk to me for the first few days. But once we shot the emotional scenes, he opened up. He's a complete professional.'
- Ji (2005) was the film that officially launched Ajith as a mass action hero after his earlier romantic roles, and Trisha was his leading lady in that career-defining shift — though the film itself was only a moderate hit.
- The dialogue 'Naan oru dhadava sonna, nooru dhadava sonna madhiri' from Mankatha — spoken by Ajith's character to Trisha's — is still memed and quoted by fans whenever someone repeats themselves.
