Long-Term Partnership

The Suresh & Delhi Ganesh partnership

After 12 years apart, they came back together for Junior Senior (2002). They didn't share a set between 1990 and 2002. Their work runs across 3 decades of Tamil cinema.

From En Veedu En Kanavar (1990) to Puthagam (2013). It started with En Veedu En Kanavar (1990).

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to En Veedu En Kanavar; the 2010s to Puthagam. Suresh actor in some, director in others. Strictly Tamil cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • For 'En Veedu En Kanavar' (1990), director Mani Ratnam didn't originally pair them. Suresh and Delhi Ganesh were cast separately, but on set they clicked so instantly that Mani rewrote a few scenes to give them more screen time together.
  • In 'Junior Senior' (2002), Delhi Ganesh deliberately slowed down his dialogue delivery to match Suresh's natural rhythm. Suresh later said Ganesh would pause mid-sentence to let him react, making their comedy feel like a real father-son argument.
  • During the shoot of 'Sabari' (2007), Suresh and Delhi Ganesh shared a room in a small lodge near the forest location. They spent nights reading each other's lines aloud, often falling asleep mid-rehearsal. The director had to wake them up for the morning call.
  • Delhi Ganesh once told a magazine: 'Suresh is the only co-star who would call me at 2 AM to discuss a single line. I'd grumble, but I'd always pick up. That's how much he cared.'
  • Their easygoing rapport in 'Junior Senior' (2002) directly inspired director K. S. Ravikumar to cast them again in a cameo for his 2004 film 'M. Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi'. That cameo became a fan-favorite scene, leading to more comedy duos in Tamil cinema copying their timing.
