Rahul Ravindran Facts
- Rahul, after attaining his master’s degree in business management, began working as an assistant brand manager for a leading media company in Mumbai, the financial capital of India.
- While he was dining at a restaurant in Mumbai, he was spotted by a talent agent who offered him an audition for a TV commercial that was to be directed by noted film director Dibakar Banerjee. Rahul attended the audition and went on to be featured in that TV commercial.
- The success of the aforementioned TV commercial fetched him more such opportunities. Around this time, he also began dubbing in the Tamil language for cartoons and children’s TV shows.
- He soon quit his day job and returned to Chennai, hoping to find some work as an assistant director. Before he could begin his struggle in Chennai, noted cinematographer, filmmaker, producer, and writer Ravi Varman, impressed by his work in TV commercials, invited him to audition for an upcoming romantic drama film titled Moscowin Kavery.
- Rahul was eventually selected for the role of the film’s male lead. Due to Ravi’s scheduling conflicts, owing to his pending projects as a cinematographer, production for the film stalled for a long time. The film was eventually released in August 2010 and despite the film getting unanimously poor reviews from critics, Rahul was appreciated for his debut performance.
