The Suriya & Trisha Krishnan partnership
After 21 years apart, they came back together for Karuppu (2026). They didn't share a set between 2005 and 2026. They saved their best for last — Karuppu (7.4/10) came 24 years in.
From Mounam Pesiyadhe (2002) to Karuppu (2026). Their most recent film, Karuppu, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active.
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Aaytha Ezhuthu; the 2020s to Karuppu. Suriya acted in every film; Trisha Krishnan acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Suriya and Trisha first met on the sets of Mounam Pesiyadhe (2002). The director, A. R. Murugadoss, was a debutant then. He cast them both as fresh faces — neither was a star yet. That film put both of them on the map.
- In Aaytha Ezhuthu (2004), Suriya played a hot-headed student activist and Trisha played his love interest. Mani Ratnam made them rehearse scenes for weeks before shooting. Trisha later said Suriya's intensity on set made her raise her own game — he set the pace, she matched it.
- During the shoot of Aaru (2005), Suriya and Trisha became close friends off-screen. They would often have dinner together after pack-up. But after Aaru released, they never worked together again. No fallout — just drifted apart as careers took different paths.
- Trisha once said in an interview: 'Suriya is one actor who made me feel completely comfortable as a co-star. He never made me feel like I was a newcomer.' She said this years after their last film together.
- Their pairing in Mounam Pesiyadhe (2002) was so well-received that it directly led to Suriya and Trisha being cast together again in Aaytha Ezhuthu (2004). Mani Ratnam reportedly noticed their chemistry in the first film and wanted them for his project.
