Trisha Krishnan & Vikram Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Saamy; the 2020s to Ponniyin Selvan 1. Trisha Krishnan acted in every film; Vikram acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Trisha was just 20 and fresh off her debut when she was cast opposite Vikram in Saamy (2003). She later admitted she was terrified of him on set — he was already a star with a reputation for intense prep, and she had to act bold and brash opposite him.
• In Bheema (2008), Vikram played a ruthless gangster and Trisha played his love interest. The film’s most talked-about scene — where she slaps him in public — was Trisha’s idea. She suggested it to director N. Linguswamy to show her character wasn’t just a prop.
• After Bheema, they didn’t work together for 15 years. But when Ponniyin Selvan 2 (2023) brought them back, Trisha said Vikram still called her by the same nickname from Saamy days — 'Kutty' — and they picked up their old rapport instantly.
• Their pairing in Saamy (2003) was so popular that the film’s romantic track — especially the song 'Kadhal Vandhiruchu' — became a template for 2000s Tamil mass-market romances. Directors started casting older, intense heroes with younger, spunky heroines to recreate that spark.
• Vikram once said in an interview: 'Trisha is the only co-star who made me forget my lines. In Saamy, she would just look at me with those eyes, and I’d blank out.' He said it laughing, but meant it.
