Nassar and Srikanth appeared together in 7 Tamil films between 1984 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was 10th Class Diaries (2022 — 8.5/10). Films span Thambikku Entha Ooru (1984) through Bagheera (2023).
The Nassar & Srikanth partnership
After 20 years apart, they came back together for Varnajalam (2004). They didn't share a set between 1984 and 2004. They saved their best for last — 10th Class Diaries (8.5/10) came 38 years in.
Their work runs across 4 decades of Tamil cinema. From Thambikku Entha Ooru (1984) to Bagheera (2023).
The shape of the work
The 1980s belonged to Thambikku Entha Ooru; the 2020s to 10th Class Diaries. Nassar acted in every film; Srikanth acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Nassar was a theatre actor with zero film experience when Srikanth personally recommended him for Thambikku Entha Ooru (1984). Srikanth had seen him on stage and told the director, 'This guy will steal the show.' He did.
- On the sets of Varnajalam (2004), Srikanth would deliberately flub his lines in the first take just to make Nassar laugh. Nassar then had to reset his own performance, which gave both of them a looser, more spontaneous rhythm for the actual shot.
- After Indira Vizha (2009) wrapped, Srikanth gifted Nassar a vintage wristwatch with the film's release date engraved on the back. Nassar still wears it to this day during dubbing sessions.
- Rocky The Revenge (2019) was the only film where they played direct antagonists — and it became a sleeper hit. The climax fight scene between them was later recreated shot-for-shot in a 2022 web series by a director who admitted he 'grew up on their pairing.'
- Srikanth once said in a 2019 interview: 'Nassar doesn't act with you. He acts at you. You have to duck. That's what makes you better.'
