The S. Ve. Shekher & Pallavi partnership
From Sahadevan Mahadevan (1988) to Vedikkai En Vadikkai (1990). The played out closed with Vedikkai En Vadikkai in 1990. It started with Sahadevan Mahadevan (1988).
The shape of the work
The 1980s belonged to Sahadevan Mahadevan; the 1990s to Vedikkai En Vadikkai. S. Ve. Shekher acted in every film; Pallavi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- S. Ve. Shekher wrote all three films specifically for Pallavi. He saw her in a stage play and decided she was the only one who could play the female lead in his debut script.
- On the sets of 'Sahadevan Mahadevan' (1988), Pallavi would often rewrite her own lines in Tamil. Shekher, who wrote the dialogues, let her do it because she made them sound more natural for a village girl.
- During the shoot of 'Yogam Rajayogam' (1989), Pallavi’s mother would cook lunch for the entire crew. Shekher later said that home-cooked meal was the only reason he finished the film on time.
- Pallavi once told a magazine: 'Shekher would pace around the set muttering dialogues to himself. I had to grab his arm and say, “Talk to me, not the wall.”'
- The success of 'Vedikkai En Vadikkai' (1990) directly led to S. Ve. Shekher getting his first break as a solo lead in 'Nadodi Thendral' (1992). Pallavi recommended him to the producer.
- In every film, Shekher insisted on a scene where Pallavi would slap him. He said it broke the tension and made the comedy land harder. The slap in 'Yogam Rajayogam' was so loud the sound guy flinched.
