Sathyaraj & Sampath Raj Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Magudam; the 2010s to Viswasam. Sathyaraj acted in every film; Sampath Raj acted in all of them. Mostly Tamil, with 1 film in Telugu.

Partnership facts

• In Viswasam (2019), Sathyaraj and Sampath Raj played father and son-in-law — and their face-off scene in the climax, where Sathyaraj's character roars 'Naan dhaan da Thooku Durai,' became a meme template across Tamil social media for months.
• Their first film together, Magudam (1992), was a turning point for both — it was Sathyaraj's first film as a full-fledged villain after years of character roles, and it gave Sampath Raj his first major Tamil break after moving from Karnataka.
• Viswasam (2019) was their only box office hit together — it collected over ₹100 crore worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film either of them had ever been part of at that point.
• Sampath Raj once said in an interview: 'Sathyaraj sir was the reason I said yes to Viswasam without even reading the full script. I knew he would lift any scene I shared with him.'
• In Party (2017), their comic timing as two bumbling henchmen arguing over who gets to kill the hero became a fan-favorite scene — audiences in theaters would whistle every time they started bickering.
• They went 21 years without a single film together after Magudam (1992), then suddenly made three films in six years — Mirchi (2013), Party (2017), and Viswasam (2019) — proving their chemistry was still bankable decades later.
