Anjali and Raam appeared together in 3 Tamil films between 2007 and 2019. Their highest-rated collaboration was Peranbu (2019 — 7.8/10). Films span Kattradhu Thamizh (2007) through Peranbu (2019).
The Anjali & Raam partnership
After 10 years apart, they came back together for Taramani (2017). They didn't share a set between 2007 and 2017. From Kattradhu Thamizh (2007) to Peranbu (2019).
Peranbu is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Kattradhu Thamizh (2007).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Kattradhu Thamizh; the 2010s to Peranbu. Anjali acted in every film; Raam directed all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- For Kattradhu Thamizh (2007), director Ram cast Anjali after seeing her in a short film. But she almost didn't take the role — she was a college student and her parents were hesitant. Raam personally convinced them she'd be safe on set.
- On Taramani (2017), Raam deliberately kept Anjali in the dark about the full script until the day of each scene. He wanted her reactions to feel raw and unscripted — and she delivered takes that made him rewrite entire dialogues.
- Between Kattradhu Thamizh and Taramani, Raam and Anjali didn't speak for nearly a decade. They reconnected only when Raam sent her a one-line WhatsApp: 'I have a role only you can play.' She replied in five minutes: 'I'm in.'
- Peranbu (2019) directly launched the career of child actor Anjali Nair — Raam cast her after seeing Anjali's real-life bond with the girl during auditions. The kid went on to win a state award for her performance.
- Raam once said in an interview: 'Anjali is the only actor who can make me cry with just her eyes. On Peranbu, I'd call cut and walk away because I couldn't look at her without breaking down.'
- In Peranbu, Raam made Anjali rehearse every scene in sign language for three months before shooting — even though she had no deaf co-star. He said it forced her to 'act with her whole body, not just her face.' The result: she didn't speak a single word in the entire film.
