The Trisha Krishnan & Deepa Shankar partnership
From Paramapatham Vilaiyattu (2020) to Karuppu (2026). Their most recent film, Karuppu, came out in 2026 — the partnership is still active. Karuppu is the one most viewers reach for.
It started with Paramapatham Vilaiyattu (2020).
The shape of the work
Trisha Krishnan acted in every film; Deepa Shankar acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Trisha personally recommended Deepa Shankar for a supporting role in Paramapatham Vilaiyattu (2020) after the director struggled to find the right actor. Deepa had never met Trisha before that call.
- On the set of Paramapadham Vilayattu (2021), Trisha would deliberately flub her lines in the first take to make Deepa laugh — a trick she used to loosen Deepa's nerves before intense comedy scenes.
- Between the two Paramapadham films, Deepa Shankar stayed at Trisha's Chennai apartment for three months while looking for a permanent place. Trisha never mentioned this in any interview.
- "She doesn't act like a star. She sits with me on the floor between shots and asks if I'm okay. That's rare." — Deepa Shankar about Trisha, during a 2022 podcast.
- Their back-and-forth in Paramapatham Vilaiyattu (2020) inspired the director to write a full comedy track for two female characters in his next film — a first in his career.
