The R. Parthiban & Sriman partnership
After 11 years apart, they came back together for Massu Engira Masilamani (2015). They didn't share a set between 2004 and 2015. From Kadhal Kirukkan (2003) to Massu Engira Masilamani (2015).
It started with Kadhal Kirukkan (2003).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Kadhal Kirukkan; the 2010s to Massu Engira Masilamani. R. Parthiban acted in every film; Sriman acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Parthiban cast Sriman in Kadhal Kirukkan (2003) after seeing him in a small role in a TV serial. Sriman was a newcomer then, and Parthiban took a chance on him for the lead.
- On the sets of Kudaikul Mazhai (2004), Parthiban would often rewrite dialogues on the spot. Sriman had to memorize new lines minutes before the shot — and he never complained. Parthiban later said that Sriman's patience made the film possible.
- After Massu Engira Masilamani (2015) flopped, Parthiban and Sriman stopped working together. But Sriman still calls Parthiban 'sir' and has said in interviews that he owes his early career to him.
- Sriman once said in a 2015 interview: 'Parthiban sir doesn't just direct you — he fights with you on set, then hugs you after the shot. That's how he gets the best out of you.'
