Career

[edit]

Ravichandran made his debut by directing Kannedhirey Thondrinal (1998), a love story featuring Prashanth and Simran, and the film gained positive reviews from critics and went on to become a commercial success. His next Sandhitha Velai fared less well, while his third venture Majunu saw him collaborate with Prashanth again. Through the film, he also introduced music director Harris Jayaraj to work on his first film soundtrack, though other projects eventually released earlier.[3]

His most recent release was Urchagam, a thriller starring Nandha and Sherin, which opened to average reviews in 2007.[4] In 2014, he announced that he is working on a movie featuring his nephew Raj Bharath and Amzhath in lead roles.[5]
