The Siddharth & Sundar C. partnership
From Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru (2013) to Aranmanai 2 (2016). It started with Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru (2013).
Partnership facts
- Sundar C. didn't plan to cast Siddharth in 'Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru'. Siddharth heard about the script, called Sundar directly, and convinced him he was the right fit over a single lunch meeting.
- On the sets of 'Something Something', Sundar C. let Siddharth rewrite most of his own dialogues. Siddharth's improvisations turned a straightforward comedy into a wordplay-heavy film that fans still quote.
- The success of 'Theeya Velai Seiyyanum Kumaru' directly led Sundar C. to cast Siddharth in 'Aranmanai 2' — a horror-comedy that became one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of 2016, reviving the franchise.
- Siddharth and Sundar C. never had a formal contract for any of their three films. Every project was sealed with a handshake and a promise to finish on time — and they never missed a single deadline.
- Siddharth once said: 'Sundar sir is the only director who lets me be completely stupid on screen. He knows when to rein me in and when to let me fly.'
