Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-04 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Priya Anand and Yogi Babu appeared together in 4 Tamil films between 2019 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Kasethan Kadavulada (2023 — 7.0/10). Films span LKG (2019) through Sumo (2025).
The Priya Anand & Yogi Babu partnership
Between 2019 and 2025, they barely worked apart — 4 films in 6 years. From LKG (2019) to Sumo (2025). Their most recent film, Sumo, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active.
Kasethan Kadavulada is the one most viewers reach for. It started with LKG (2019).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to LKG; the 2020s to Kasethan Kadavulada. Priya Anand acted in every film; Yogi Babu acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Priya Anand was the one who suggested Yogi Babu for a key role in LKG (2019). She had worked with him earlier in a small scene and told director KR that Yogi's comic timing would lift the political satire. The director agreed, and that film became their first hit together.
- In Kasethan Kadavulada (2023), Yogi Babu improvised nearly 70% of his dialogue on set. Priya Anand matched his rhythm by feeding him straight lines without breaking character — she told the director she'd rather be a 'straight man' than try to out-funny him. The scene where she deadpans while he rambles about a missing ring is the one audiences still quote.
- Their pairing in LKG (2019) directly inspired the trend of casting a female lead and a comedian as a 'buddy duo' in Tamil political satires. At least three films — including Mandela (2021) and Jai Bhim (2021) — reportedly considered similar dynamics after LKG's success.
- On the sets of Andhagan (2024), Priya Anand and Yogi Babu had a running bet: whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the other a box of 'mixture' from the local shop. Yogi lost every single day. By the end of the shoot, Priya had collected 14 boxes — she donated them to the crew's kids.
- Yogi Babu said about Priya Anand in a 2023 interview: 'She is the only co-star who doesn't treat me like a comedian. She treats me like an actor. When I improvise, she doesn't get annoyed — she gets excited. That's rare.'
