The Imman Annachi & Livingston partnership
From Jeyikkira Kuthira (2017) to Rajaputhiran (2025). Their most recent film, Rajaputhiran, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active. It started with Jeyikkira Kuthira (2017).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Traffic Ramasamy; the 2020s to Rajaputhiran. Imman Annachi acted in every film; Livingston acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Livingston was the one who pushed Imman Annachi into the lead role for 'Jeyikkira Kuthira' (2017). Imman originally wanted to just write and direct, but Livingston convinced him to step in front of the camera — and that film became their first collaboration.
- On the set of 'Traffic Ramasamy' (2018), Livingston would deliberately flub his lines in the first take to make Imman Annachi laugh. Imman’s natural, irritated reaction became the comedic rhythm of the film — and they kept that 'annoyed friend' dynamic for all their movies together.
- Their 2019 film 'Butler Balu' — despite a 4.9/10 rating — was a sleeper hit in B and C centres. It directly inspired a wave of 'servant comedy' films in Tamil, including the 2021 web series 'Servant' on a major OTT platform.
- Imman Annachi and Livingston have a standing bet: whoever cracks a joke that makes the other break character on set first, buys dinner for the entire crew. Livingston claims he's won 7 out of 4 films — Imman says his math is as bad as his acting.
- Imman Annachi once said in a 2022 interview: 'Livingston is the only actor who can make me forget my own dialogue. He’ll stare at me with those big eyes and I’ll just start laughing. We’ve ruined so many takes that way.'
