Camera rolling: Ravi Mohan’s directorial debut 'An Ordinary Man' officially kicks off! Kenishaa Francis present for pooja

The wait is finally over for fans eager to see actor Ravi Mohan (formerly known as Jayam Ravi) step behind the camera. The much-anticipated project, An Ordinary Man, has officially commenced production, marking a major milestone in the star’s career.

The film, which features the immensely talented Yogi Babu in the lead role, kicked off its shoot this week following a traditional pooja ceremony.

This film is a flagship project under Ravi Mohan’s newly established production banner, Ravi Mohan Studios. Since the banner's launch last year, it has garnered significant buzz for its ambitious goal to produce 10 feature films over two years. An Ordinary Man holds a special place in that slate, representing Ravi Mohan’s transition from a leading actor to a writer-director.

What we know so far

• The Duo: The film reunites Ravi Mohan and Yogi Babu, who have previously shared screen space in films like Comali, Siren, and Kadhalika Neramillai.
• The Vibe: First teased in a humorous promotional video titled "Psychology of An Ordinary Man," the film appears to be a lighthearted, witty exploration of, well, the life of an ordinary man. The promo saw the pair playfully debating the challenges of filmmaking and the search for the perfect character look.
• The Crew: The film boasts a strong technical team, including Hydro as the music composer, Jay Charola handling cinematography, and Pradeep E Ragav as the editor.

While specific plot details remain tightly under wraps, the industry is buzzing with anticipation to see what this creative collaboration brings to the silver screen.
