Prakash Raj and M. S. Bhaskar appeared together in 7 Tamil films between 2004 and 2021. Their highest-rated collaboration was Jai Bhim (2021 — 8.2/10). Films span Azhagiya Theeye (2004) through Jai Bhim (2021).
The Prakash Raj & M. S. Bhaskar partnership
After 8 years apart, they came back together for Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016). They saved their best for last — Jai Bhim (8.2/10) came 17 years in. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.
They didn't share a set between 2008 and 2016. From Azhagiya Theeye (2004) to Jai Bhim (2021).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Mozhi; the 2020s to Jai Bhim. Prakash Raj acted in every film; M. S. Bhaskar acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Mozhi (2007) was their first film together. Director Radha Mohan cast Prakash Raj as the villain and M. S. Bhaskar as the hero's friend. They had zero scenes together. The director later admitted he didn't realize they'd never shared screen space until the film released.
- In Yaakkai (2017), Prakash Raj played a ruthless cop and M. S. Bhaskar played his subordinate. Bhaskar told an interviewer that Prakash Raj would deliberately stay in character between takes — not speaking to him, just staring — to keep the tension real. Bhaskar said he'd never felt that kind of pressure from any other co-star.
- M. S. Bhaskar has said in multiple interviews that Prakash Raj personally recommended him for roles in other directors' films after Mozhi. Bhaskar calls him 'anna' (elder brother) off-screen. They still text each other on birthdays.
- M. S. Bhaskar once said about Prakash Raj: 'He doesn't act with you. He acts at you. You have to catch up or get eaten. I learned to catch up.'
- Their only comedy-heavy pairing was Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016). The film bombed. But the scene where Prakash Raj's character keeps mispronouncing Bhaskar's character's name became a meme template on Tamil Twitter for months after release.
- In Sila Samayangalil (2017), they played estranged brothers. Prakash Raj improvised a slap in the climax. Bhaskar didn't flinch. The director kept the take. Bhaskar later said he knew Prakash Raj would pull the slap — they'd worked enough together by then to trust each other's instincts.
