Vidyullekha Raman & Stunt Silva Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Vidyullekha Raman acted in every film; Stunt Silva acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Jilla (2014), Stunt Silva choreographed a fight where Vidyullekha Raman’s character gets thrown across a market stall. She insisted on doing the fall herself — no double. Silva later said her willingness to take the hit made him design more brutal moves for her in Veeram (2014).
• During the shoot of Massu Engira Masilamani (2015), Vidyullekha and Silva would bet on who could finish their lunch first. The loser had to do an extra round of fight rehearsals. She won most days — Silva admitted she was faster with a spoon than he was with a punch.
• Stunt Silva first cast Vidyullekha in Jilla (2014) after seeing her perform a comedy skit on TV. He told the director she had the timing to sell a punchline mid-fight. That scene — where she cracks a joke while dodging a kick — became the one Tamil audiences still quote.
• In Veeram (2014), Silva built a fight sequence around Vidyullekha’s comic rhythm. He slowed the action beats to match her dialogue delivery — so every punch landed exactly on her punchline. She later said it felt like dancing with a metronome.
• The success of their three-film run directly led to Silva being hired as action choreographer for Vidyullekha’s next project — a 2016 comedy where she played a stuntwoman. That film never released, but the script was later rewritten into a web series that did.
• Vidyullekha once said about Silva: 'He’s the only person who can make me look like I can fight. I just follow his hands — he moves, I move. It’s like we share a brain.' She said this during a 2015 interview for Massu Engira Masilamani promotions.
