Soori & Hareesh Peradi Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

Soori acted in every film; Hareesh Peradi acted in all of them. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Soori was the one who pushed for Hareesh Peradi to be cast in Velan (2021). The director had someone else in mind, but Soori insisted after seeing Peradi in a Malayalam film. That call got them their first film together.
• In Kombu Vatcha Singamda (2022), Soori deliberately slowed down his usual comic timing to match Hareesh Peradi's deadpan delivery. Peradi never improvised — he stuck to the script — so Soori adjusted his rhythm around him. The result was a rare straight-man comedy duo that actually worked.
• On the sets of Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2022), Soori and Hareesh Peradi shared a room during the entire shoot in Chennai. Soori later said they spent nights discussing Malayalam cinema and that Peradi taught him how to read a script in Malayalam.
• Soori said in a 2022 interview: 'Hareesh anna doesn't act. He just stands there and the scene becomes real. I had to work twice as hard to match that.'
• Their pairing in Velan (2021) directly led to Hareesh Peradi getting more Tamil film offers. Before that, he was mostly known in Malayalam. After Velan, three Tamil directors approached him specifically for comedy roles opposite established Tamil comedians.
• In Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2022), Soori and Hareesh Peradi shared only one scene together — but it was the scene that got the loudest laugh in the theatre. Soori later revealed they rehearsed that single scene for three hours to get the pause exactly right.
