The Nassar & Riythvika partnership
They saved their best for last — 800 (8.5/10) came 7 years in. From Kabali (2016) to 800 (2023). Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal (2022, 8.4/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue.
Their most recent film, 800, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. 800 is the one most viewers reach for.
The shape of the work
The 2010s belonged to Kabali; the 2020s to 800. Nassar acted in every film; Riythvika acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Nassar personally recommended Riythvika for the role of his daughter in 'Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal' (2022). He had seen her work in 'Madras' and told director Gautham Menon she'd bring the raw emotional weight the character needed.
- In 'Iru Mugan' (2016), Nassar played a stern father figure while Riythvika played his daughter. Their scenes together had zero improvisation — Nassar insisted on sticking to the script to maintain the tension, and Riythvika matched his rigid delivery beat for beat.
- During the shoot of '800' (2023), Nassar and Riythvika developed a ritual: they'd share a cup of filter coffee before every emotional scene. Riythvika later said it helped her 'switch into daughter mode' instantly.
- "Nassar sir doesn't act. He just becomes the character. I had to unlearn everything I knew about acting to keep up with him in 'Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal'." — Riythvika, in a 2022 interview with The Hindu.
- Their father-daughter pairing in 'Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal' (2022) directly inspired the casting of a real-life father-daughter duo in the 2023 web series 'Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam' — the showrunner admitted he wanted that same 'unspoken understanding' on screen.
