R Madhavan and Shalini Ajith Kumar reunite after 24 years of Alai Payuthey; fans can't keep calm

As a dedicated follower of Tamil cinema, I must admit that seeing Shalini and R Madhavan together after 24 years brought back a flood of nostalgia. Alai Payuthey was more than just a movie for me; it was an experience that resonated deeply. The story of Karthik and Shakti’s love against all odds felt so real, and the music by AR Rahman added to its timeless charm.


Shalini, Ajith Kumar’s wife, just posted a sweet selfie on her social media account alongside actor R Madhavan. They starred together in the 2000 romantic movie “Alai Payuthey,” which was directed by renowned filmmaker Mani Ratnam.

The first social media user said, “I can feel the vibe…you two look just the same as before,” and in response, the second user commented, “The unforgettable onscreen duo reuniting after 24 years brings back memories of cherished times together.

“Favorite onscreen couple,” read another comment. On the other hand, a netizen wrote, “OmG. The Reunion we didn’t know we needed, Wow Karthik and Shakti after 24 years.” 

One social media user also urged for a sequel to the R Madhavan starrer and commented, “Yall Could Literally Do Alaipayuthey 2: Parents Edition????”

In the year 2000, Mani Ratnam’s film Alai Payuthey was a huge success in cinemas. This movie focuses on Karthik, an engineering graduate, and Shakti, a medical student, whose lives intertwine. They develop feelings for each other after encountering at a wedding ceremony. However, their families disapprove of their relationship, but the couple decides to get married regardless.

On the start of their new life as a wedded pair, they discover that things aren’t always smooth sailing. Yet, in spite of disagreements, they persevere and reinforce their affection for one another.

The music for the movie was created by no less than AR Rahman himself. Tunes such as “Snehidhane” and “Evano Oruvan” from Alai Payuthey quickly became fan favorites due to their relatable nature. After its release starring Shalini and R Madhavan, it garnered widespread critical praise and eventually earned the title of a classic.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! This movie you’re eagerly waiting for? It’s readily accessible across various streaming services. You can catch it on Disney+ Hotstar, Aha, or Amazon Prime Video. Enjoy the ride!
