In a recent public appearance that has sparked considerable excitement among film enthusiasts, actor Ravi Mohan shared the stage with acclaimed director-actor Rishab Shetty, hinting at a promising future collaboration. The interaction took place at a Behindwoods event, where Mohan openly admired Shetty's cinematic vision.
Mutual Admiration on Stage
The event became a platform for a heartfelt appreciation of craft. Ravi Mohan, recalling his days as a film student, stated that the meticulous shot divisions and visual storytelling he was once taught to study are now best exemplified in Rishab Shetty's films. "After my student days, I continued to see such incredible shot choices only in Rishab Sir’s films," Mohan revealed, emphasizing his attention to detail not just as an actor but as a perpetual student of cinema.
He further praised Shetty's disciplined approach, calling him an example of how hard work and a clear vision lead to success. For Mohan, Shetty's work as a directing actor serves as a significant source of motivation in his own career.
Hints of a Future Project Together
The conversation naturally steered towards the possibility of the two talents joining forces. When asked about working with Shetty, Ravi Mohan responded with a mix of humor and hope. "If he agrees right away, I'm going to begin doing it," he quipped. He then added a more philosophical note, saying, "Now Rishab is walking a path of discipline; I am walking a parallel path with my own discipline. One day, these two paths will meet. Whenever it happens, it will be a meaningful collaboration."
In a revealing moment, Mohan also shared his dream to one day produce and direct a film featuring Rishab Shetty in the lead role. The sentiment was reciprocated by Shetty, who expressed his own willingness to collaborate. Rishab Shetty stated, "If there is good content and a well-defined role, I don't think about the money or the commercial value of the film," highlighting his content-first approach.
Current Projects and Release Dates
While fans await this potential partnership, both artists are busy with their individual slate of projects. Ravi Mohan is currently occupied with the post-production of his movie 'Karathey Babu'. He is eagerly anticipating the release of 'Parasakthi' on January 10, a film in which he plays a villain role. His portfolio is expanding in multiple directions, with expectations from 'Genie', and ventures as a producer with 'Bro Code' and as a director with 'An Ordinary Man'.
On the other hand, Rishab Shetty is riding high on the success of 'Kantara: Chapter 1' and is deeply involved in upcoming projects like 'Jai Hanuman' and 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj'. The recent interaction suggests that the paths of these two disciplined artists are converging, promising a compelling cinematic union for the future.
