Chennai, Mar 13 (NationPress) Actor Ravi Mohan, who has celebrated 20 years in the Tamil film industry as a reliable hero, is preparing to make his debut as a director.
If the circulating rumors are accurate, Ravi Mohan is set to direct his inaugural film, featuring Yogi Babu in the leading role.
Earlier this year, during a press engagement, Ravi revealed that he had a script ready for Yogi Babu and expressed his intention to step into directing at some point, although he did not mention a specific timeline for this transition.
According to industry insiders, Ravi Mohan is expected to embark on his directing journey shortly after he wraps up Ganesh K Babu’s film ‘Karathey Babu’ and Sudha Kongara’s highly anticipated period movie ‘Parasakthi’, which stars Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role.
Sources indicate that, if all goes as planned, filming for Ravi's first directorial venture could commence in July this year, with Yogi Babu portraying the lead role in what is described as a full-fledged comedy entertainer.
However, there has been no official announcement from Ravi Mohan regarding this project thus far.
All of Ravi Mohan’s forthcoming films carry significant expectations. In ‘Karathey Babu’, the actor portrays a politician named Shanmugha Babu/Karathey Babu, who represents the R K Nagar constituency. This film, directed by the extremely talented Ganesh K Babu, who previously wowed audiences with Dada, features cinematography by Ezhil Arasu, music by Sam C S, and editing by Kathiresh Alagesan.
Renowned director Rathna Kumar has co-authored the script, which stars Daudee Jiwal as the female lead.
Additionally, Ravi Mohan will portray the antagonist in Sudha Kongara’s eagerly awaited period film Parasakthi, also featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role. The crew is currently shooting significant scenes in Sri Lanka.
Besides these projects, Ravi Mohan also has ‘Genie’, a fantasy film, lined up for release.
