The R. Parthiban & M. S. Bhaskar partnership
From Thihar (2015) to Ayogya (2019). It started with Thihar (2015).
The shape of the work
R. Parthiban acted in every film; M. S. Bhaskar acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Parthiban personally called M. S. Bhaskar to offer him the role in Thihar (2015) after seeing him in a small comedy role in another film. Bhaskar later said he was shocked because Parthiban was a big star and he was just a character actor.
- In Kuppathu Raja (2019), Parthiban deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to match Bhaskar's natural rhythm. Bhaskar told a magazine that Parthiban would pause mid-scene and wait for him to catch up — something no other co-star had done.
- During the shoot of Ayogya (2019), Bhaskar's mother was hospitalized. Parthiban quietly rescheduled all their scenes for two weeks and didn't tell the production team why — he just said 'I need time.' Bhaskar found out only later from a crew member.
- M. S. Bhaskar once said in an interview: 'Parthiban sir doesn't treat me like a supporting actor. He treats me like a co-star. That's why I say yes to every film he asks me to do.'
- The success of Kuppathu Raja (2019) directly led to Bhaskar being cast in a major negative role in a 2021 Vijay film — the director had watched their pairing and decided Bhaskar could carry dramatic weight, not just comedy.
