The Ramki & Roja Selvamani partnership
Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema. From Rajali (1996) to Masani (2013). It started with Rajali (1996).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Rajali; the 2010s to Masani. Ramki acted in every film; Roja Selvamani acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Roja Selvamani was already a star when she signed Rajali (1996). But she insisted on Ramki as her co-star after watching his work. The producer wanted a bigger name. Roja held her ground. That film put both of them on the map as a pair.
- In Viswanathan Ramamoorthy (2001), Ramki played a music composer. Roja played his love interest. The film's songs became a hit because Ramki actually sang a few lines in the recording studio to help Roja get into character. She later said his voice made her cry on set.
- During the shoot of Shakalaka Baby (2002), Ramki and Roja had a running bet. Every day, whoever flubbed a line first had to buy the other a box of Mysore Pak. Roja lost most days. She still jokes she funded his sweet tooth for a whole year.
- Kuttrapathirikai (2007) was their last film together. It was a courtroom drama. The film's climax scene — where Roja's character breaks down on the witness stand — was so intense that a junior artiste fainted on set. That scene is still used in Tamil TV promos for legal shows.
- Roja once said in a 2008 interview: 'Ramki is the only co-star who never once tried to upstage me. He would slow down his dialogue delivery if I was nervous. That's rare in this industry.'
