: This romantic thriller was written and directed by Simbu himself. It served as the platform where their real-life relationship reportedly began. The film follows a college student (Simbu) who falls in love with a teacher (Nayanthara).

Note: Do not confuse "Manmadhan (2004)" as a lead pair film; Nayanthara only appeared in a song.

While they have a massive cultural footprint as a pair, their actual filmography together consists of just a few key projects. 1. Vallavan (2006)
