Soori & Aruldoss Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Naan Mahaan Alla; the 2020s to Kombu Vatcha Singamda. Soori acted in every film; Aruldoss acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• In Marudhu (2016), Soori played the comic sidekick while Aruldoss was the menacing villain. Their face-off scenes worked because Soori’s frantic energy bounced off Aruldoss’s deadpan stillness — one kept moving, the other barely blinked.
• Soori and Aruldoss are close friends off-screen. They often travel together to shoots in the same car, and Aruldoss has said Soori is the only co-star who calls him just to check if he’s eaten.
• Aruldoss once told a behind-the-scenes interviewer: 'Soori makes me laugh so much on set that I forget my lines. But he also makes sure I get them right before the take.'
• Their Vennela Kabadik Kuzhu 2 (2019) became a sleeper hit in the comedy-drama space, directly inspiring a wave of small-town sports comedies in Tamil cinema over the next two years.
• They first met on the sets of Marudhu (2016). Director M. Muthaiah specifically paired them because he wanted a loud comic foil for Aruldoss’s silent brute — a dynamic he’d reuse in later films.
