The Aravind Akash & Ramesh Thilak partnership
From Kaala (2018) to LKG (2019). Kaala is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Kaala (2018).
The shape of the work
Aravind Akash acted in every film; Ramesh Thilak acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Aravind Akash and Ramesh Thilak first shared screen space in Kaala (2018) because Rajinikanth personally requested the casting director to bring in fresh faces for the supporting roles. Neither had worked on a Rajini film before, and they bonded over their nervousness on day one of the shoot.
- In Viswasam (2019), Ramesh Thilak played the comic sidekick while Aravind Akash played the villain. Their scenes together were shot in a single take each — director Siva insisted they improvise the dialogue rhythm live, and both actors fed each other punchlines without rehearsal.
- During the LKG (2019) shoot, Aravind and Ramesh shared a hotel room for 45 days in Kodaikanal. They developed a ritual: every night after pack-up, they would watch one old Tamil comedy film together and try to recreate a scene the next morning on set.
- Ramesh Thilak said in a 2020 interview: 'Aravind is the only co-actor who can make me laugh so hard that I break character. In Viswasam, we had to reshoot one scene three times because I kept laughing at his dialogue delivery.'
- Their back-and-forth banter in LKG (2019) directly inspired the writing of the 2021 web series 'Thaenmozhi' — the showrunner admitted in a podcast that he cast both actors again specifically to recreate that rhythm.
