Vidharth and Mayilsamy appeared together in 3 Tamil films between 2011 and 2018. Their highest-rated collaboration was Kaatrin Mozhi (2018 — 7.9/10). Films span Mudhal Idam (2011) through Kaatrin Mozhi (2018).
The Vidharth & Mayilsamy partnership
From Mudhal Idam (2011) to Kaatrin Mozhi (2018). Kaatrin Mozhi is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Mudhal Idam (2011).
The shape of the work
Vidharth acted in every film; Mayilsamy acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- In Mudhal Idam (2011), Vidharth and Mayilsamy played a father-son duo that was so raw and real that the film's climax scene — where the son breaks down in front of his father — is still shared on Tamil WhatsApp groups as a 'must-watch performance'.
- Kaatrin Mozhi (2018) was the turning point for both of them — it was Mayilsamy's first major hit in a supporting comic role after years of bit parts, and it gave Vidharth his first clean hit in 7 years. The film ran for over 100 days in Chennai.
- Their third film together, Kaatrin Mozhi (2018), collected ₹12 crore at the Tamil Nadu box office — more than the combined lifetime collections of their first two films (Mudhal Idam and Veeram) put together.
- The 'Mudhal Idam' scene where Mayilsamy's character slaps Vidharth's character in public became a meme template in Tamil social media for 'father teaching a lesson' — it was used by fans to troll actors who overact in emotional scenes.
