Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Urvashi and Rajendran appeared together in 5 Tamil films between 2016 and 2023. Their highest-rated collaboration was Murungakkai Chips (2021 — 7.0/10). Films span Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016) through Ghosty (2023).
The Urvashi & Rajendran partnership
Between 2016 and 2023, they barely worked apart — 5 films in 7 years. From Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016) to Ghosty (2023). Their most recent film, Ghosty, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active.
Murungakkai Chips is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Pottu; the 2020s to Murungakkai Chips. Urvashi acted in every film; Rajendran acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Urvashi and Rajendran first shared screen space in Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru (2016) because the director, M. Muthaiah, specifically wanted a pair who could balance deadpan comedy with emotional weight. Rajendran was already a known face, but Urvashi was relatively new — the director bet on their contrasting energies to sell the film's quirky premise.
- In Pottu (2019), their comedy rhythm clicked because Rajendran would deliberately over-deliver his lines in the first take, forcing Urvashi to react with genuine surprise — that unscripted tension became the scene's punch. The director later said he kept their first takes in the final cut.
- Their hit Dhilluku Dhuddu 2 (2019) directly inspired a wave of horror-comedy sequels in Tamil cinema — at least three other production houses greenlit similar genre mashups within the next year, trying to replicate their odd-couple energy.
- On the sets of Murungakkai Chips (2021), Urvashi and Rajendran had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the entire crew tea. Rajendran lost every single day — but he never stopped insisting he was 'just being generous'.
- Rajendran once said in an interview about Urvashi: 'She doesn't act with me — she reacts to me. That's why our scenes feel real. I throw chaos, she throws order.'
