Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Vaiyapuri and Rajendran appeared together in 5 Tamil films between 2015 and 2025. Their highest-rated collaboration was Kick (2023 — 7.2/10). Films span Adhibar (2015) through Desingu Raja 2 (2025).
The Vaiyapuri & Rajendran partnership
They saved their best for last — Kick (7.2/10) came 8 years in. From Adhibar (2015) to Desingu Raja 2 (2025). Their most recent film, Desingu Raja 2, came out in 2025 — the partnership is still active.
Kick is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Adhibar (2015).
The shape of the work
The 2020s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran; the 2020s to Kick. Vaiyapuri acted in every film; Rajendran acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Vaiyapuri and Rajendran first shared screen space in Adhibar (2015) only because the director needed two comedians who could play rival sidekicks without stealing each other's punchlines. They had never met before the first day of shoot.
- In Kick (2023), Rajendran improvised a 3-minute rant about temple prasadam that made Vaiyapuri break character and laugh on camera. The director kept that take in the final cut — it's the scene Tamil audiences still quote.
- Between Adhibar and Kick, Vaiyapuri and Rajendran didn't speak for four years. They patched up only when a mutual friend forced them into the same green room at a small-town function in 2022. Kick was their comeback together.
- The success of Kick's comedy track — built entirely on Vaiyapuri's straight-man timing and Rajendran's chaos — directly inspired the 2024 web series 'Kovai Boys' to cast two lesser-known comedians in the same dynamic.
- Rajendran once said in a 2023 interview: 'Vaiyapuri is the only actor who can make me look good without trying to be funny himself. He just stands there and lets me drown — and the audience loves it.'
