J. D. and Jerry (separately Joseph D. Sami and Gerald) are Tamil film directors and scriptwriters who work together as a team.
Career
Their pair's first film as directors was Ullaasam (1997) which had Ajith Kumar and Vikram in the lead roles and produced by Amitabh Bachchan. Despite having a high profile cast and production studio, the film became a disappointment at the box office.[3][4] They have also directed Whistle (2003) and numerous Tamil television serials.[5] The duo subsequently next worked as assistant directors to Shankar in Sivaji (2007), helping with story discussion.[6]
In 2012, reports suggested that the directors would make a film with Dulquer Salman and Vikram Prabhu in the lead roles, but the venture did not materialise.[7] Jerry later went on to appear in a supporting role in Bala's Paradesi (2013), portraying an antagonistic character called Kangaani.
