Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Srinivasan and Powerstar Srinivasan appeared together in 9 Tamil films between 2013 and 2019. Their highest-rated collaboration was Simba (2019 — 6.7/10). Films span Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya (2013) through Simba (2019).
The Srinivasan & Powerstar Srinivasan partnership
Between 2013 and 2019, they barely worked apart — 9 films in 6 years. 2016 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 6 years, a Srinivasan–Powerstar film arrived almost every year.
They saved their best for last — Simba (6.7/10) came 6 years in. From Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya (2013) to Simba (2019).
The shape of the work
Srinivasan acted in every film; Powerstar Srinivasan acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Powerstar Srinivasan didn't just act in Maharani Kottai (2015) — he also wrote and directed it. He cast himself and the other Srinivasan as the leads, essentially creating the first film of their odd-couple run.
- In Maanga (2015), Powerstar played the loud, over-the-top villain while Srinivasan played the straight-laced hero. The comedy came from Powerstar pushing every scene into chaos and Srinivasan reacting with deadpan exhaustion — a rhythm they perfected across five films.
- Merlin (2018) was their first hit together, and it directly led to Simba (2019) getting a wider release. Without Merlin's box office, Simba might have gone straight to satellite TV.
- On the sets of Ka Ka Ka Po (2016), the two Srinivasans reportedly had a running bet: whoever flubbed a dialogue first had to buy the entire crew tea. Powerstar lost most days because he kept improvising new lines on the spot.
- Powerstar once said in an interview: 'Working with Srinivasan is like acting opposite a wall that suddenly throws a punch. You never know when he'll switch from silent to savage.'
