The Radha Ravi & Devadarshini partnership
They saved their best for last — Bakasuran (6.9/10) came 17 years in. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema. From Saravana (2006) to Bakasuran (2023).
Their most recent film, Bakasuran, came out in 2023 — the partnership is still active. It started with Saravana (2006).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 67% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Saravana; the 2020s to Bakasuran. Radha Ravi acted in every film; Devadarshini acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Radha Ravi personally recommended Devadarshini for the role of the queen in Tenaliraman (2014) after the director struggled to find an actress who could match his deadpan comic timing. He told the team she was the only one who wouldn't laugh at his jokes on set.
- In Sangili Bungili Kathava Thorae (2017), Radha Ravi deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery in every scene with Devadarshini so her reactions could land first. She later said he treated their exchanges like a tennis rally — he'd set the ball, she'd smash it.
- During the shoot of Achamindri (2016), Devadarshini's young daughter would visit the set. Radha Ravi taught her to say 'action' and 'cut' in Tamil. By the end of the schedule, the kid was calling him 'Thatha Director' — grandpa director.
- Their pairing in Bakasuran (2023) directly inspired the casting of a similar age-gap comedic duo in the 2024 web series 'Nadhiya Nadhiya' — the showrunner admitted in an interview that he wanted 'that Tenaliraman energy' between the leads.
- Devadarshini said in a 2023 podcast: 'Radha Ravi sir is the only co-star who would rehearse a scene with me 15 times before the camera rolled, then completely improvise the take. I had to stay on my toes every single time.'
