Mohan produced the runaway
hit Jeyam. This film was
wholly a family affair
with one son being the
hero and the other, director.
This gentle love story
had memorable songs and
fine performances. Then
he launched
M
Kumaran s/o Mahalakshmi,
which was also a huge
hit and brought the
vivacious Nadia back
to Tamil screen after
fifteen years. The film
portrayed the mother-son
bond in a fresh and
modern perspective.
The teary, sermonizing
and melodramatic mother
gave way to a strong-willed
one which appealed to
the audience. Riding
on the success of these
two films, Mohan has
been careful about his
next venture. First
there was widespread
talk about a possible
film with Rajini which
came cropper. Now, there
is confirmed news that
Mohan will join Sri
Lakshmi Productions
to make Something, something
with Ravi as hero and
Trisha as the heroine.
This will be the first
film with the Ravi-Trisha
pair. Raja, Ravi’s
brother will be the
director. After the
lukewarm response to
Dass,
much is at stake for
Ravi.
