Imman Annachi & Singampuli Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 67% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Aindhaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani; the 2020s to Pei Mama. Imman Annachi acted in every film; Singampuli acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• They first met on the set of Nanbargal Narpani Mandram (2015) — but not as co-stars. Singampuli was the film's writer, and he specifically wrote a role for Imman Annachi after seeing him in a small comedy bit. That role became Annachi's first proper break in a feature film.
• In Engalukku Veru Kilaigal Kidaiyathu (2015), Singampuli played the straight man to Annachi's chaotic energy. Annachi would deliberately flub his lines to make Singampuli break character — and the director kept those takes because the natural laughter felt real.
• After Pei Mama (2021) tanked hard, Singampuli called Annachi and said, 'We need to do something so stupid it works.' That phone call led directly to Mr. Zoo Keeper (2025) — a film they co-wrote over chai at a single stall in Kodambakkam.
• Singampuli once told a behind-the-scenes crew: 'If Imman doesn't laugh at my joke on the first take, I know the scene is dead. He's my audience of one.'
• Their double-act in Jeyikkira Kuthira (2017) — where they played rival horse-cart drivers — inspired a minor trend in Tamil comedy: two middle-aged men bickering over a shared vehicle. You can see the echo in later web series like 'Kallachirippu'.
