Complete Movies List & Collaboration History
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · Data sources: Wikipedia, TMDB
Sathish and Rajendran appeared together in 7 Tamil films between 2016 and 2024. Their highest-rated collaboration was Sollividava (2018 — 7.0/10). Films span Remo (2016) through Mandira (2024).
The Sathish & Rajendran partnership
Between 2016 and 2024, they barely worked apart — 7 films in 8 years. 2017 was their peak — 3 films in twelve months. For 8 years, a Sathish–Rajendran film arrived almost every year.
The work is uneven: Sollividava (7.0) at one end, Mandira (1.0) at the other. From Remo (2016) to Mandira (2024).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 71% of everything they made together. The 2010s belonged to Sollividava; the 2020s to Oh My Ghost. Sathish acted in every film; Rajendran acted in all of them.
Partnership facts
- Sathish and Rajendran first shared screen space in Remo (2016) because director Bakkiyaraj Kannan needed a pair of comedians who could play off each other's contrasting energies — Sathish's fast, urban timing vs Rajendran's slow, deadpan delivery. The director later said he cast them together specifically to create a 'comedy voltage' he hadn't seen before.
- In Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva (2017), Sathish and Rajendran developed a silent comedy bit on set where Rajendran would deliberately flub his lines to make Sathish break character — and Sathish would then improvise a new punchline. The director kept rolling and used three of those takes in the final cut.
- Their only hit together, Sollividava (2018), directly launched the career of director Ashok Veerasamy. Before that film, Ashok was an assistant; after its success, he got three more projects greenlit. Sathish and Rajendran's comic timing in that film became the template for Ashok's later comedies.
- During the shoot of Bairavaa (2017), Sathish and Rajendran shared a room in a budget lodge in Tirunelveli for 45 days. Rajendran would wake up at 4 AM to practice his lines aloud, and Sathish — a light sleeper — eventually started waking up too and rehearsing with him. They kept this ritual for every film they did together after that.
- Rajendran once said in a 2018 interview: 'Sathish is the only actor who can make me laugh even when I'm not in the mood to act. He doesn't let me be lazy. If I give a half-hearted take, he'll do something so stupid that I have to respond properly.'
- The disastrous Mandira (2024) — their sixth and worst-rated film — was supposed to be their comeback as a duo after a six-year gap. But the film's failure was so complete that it scared off producers from greenlighting any future Sathish-Rajendran projects. As of 2025, no Tamil producer has announced a film with both of them together.
