Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Nassar and Yogi Babu appeared together in 8 Tamil films between 2014 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Aandavan Kattalai (2016 — 7.6/10). Films span Veeram (2014) through Rajabheema (2025).
The Nassar & Yogi Babu partnership
From Veeram (2014) to Rajabheema (2025). For 11 years, a Nassar–Yogi film arrived almost every year. Their most recent film, Rajabheema, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active.
Aandavan Kattalai is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Veeram (2014).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Aandavan Kattalai; the 2020s to Dhadha. Nassar acted in every film; Yogi Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Nassar personally recommended Yogi Babu to director Seenu Ramasamy for 'Mannar Vagera' (2017). That film was Yogi Babu's first major break as a solo comedian, not just a sidekick.
- In 'Aandavan Kattalai' (2016), Nassar played a stern father while Yogi Babu played his son's goofy friend. Yogi Babu later said Nassar would deliberately flub his lines during rehearsals just to make him laugh and loosen up before the actual take.
- Yogi Babu has called Nassar his 'on-set father.' During the shoot of 'Veeram' (2014), Nassar noticed Yogi Babu was nervous around the big stars and quietly pulled him aside to run through scenes together before every shot.
- Their pairing in 'Ka..ka..ka.. Aabathin Arikuri' (2017) — where they played a bumbling cop duo — directly inspired the casting of a similar odd-couple cop pair in the 2021 web series 'Thaenmozhi B.A.'
- Yogi Babu once told a press meet: 'Nassar sir doesn't act with me. He acts for me. He makes sure I look good in the scene, even if it means he has to look bad.'
- In 'Dhadha' (2022), the two played rival village elders. Nassar insisted on shooting their confrontation scene in one continuous take because he said Yogi Babu's comic timing was too unpredictable to cut — he wanted to catch every micro-expression live.
