Jayam Ravi made his debut with the film Jayam, directed by his brother Mohan Raja. The film, a remake of the Telugu hit of the same name, was an instant success and established Jayam Ravi as a promising new actor in Tamil cinema. He played the role of Ravi, a young man who battles to win over the love of his life. His natural acting, combined with an emotional and action-packed storyline, made Jayam a significant hit, and it earned him the stage name “Jayam” Ravi. This debut marked the beginning of a stellar career, with Jayam becoming a household name across Tamil Nadu.

As we honour this talented actor, let’s take a look at five of his best films that showcase his incredible range and acting prowess.

M. Kumaran Son Of  Mahalakshmi (2004)

One of the earliest films in his career, ‘M. Kumaran Son Of Mahalakshmi’ was a significant breakthrough for Jayam Ravi. Directed by his brother Mohan Raja, the film was a remake of the Telugu hit ‘Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi’. Jayam Ravi’s portrayal of Kumaran, a young man torn between his love for his mother and his estranged father, resonated with audiences and critics alike. His powerful performance, especially in the emotional scenes, showcased his potential as a lead actor. The film’s mix of sentiment, family values, and sports drama made it a massive hit and helped solidify Jayam Ravi as a rising star in Tamil cinema. Notably, Jayam Ravi won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in this movie, cementing his position as a promising talent in the industry.

Santhosh Subramaniam (2008)

This family entertainer was a remake of the Telugu film Bommarillu, and Jayam Ravi played the titular role of Santhosh, a young man struggling to assert his independence against an overprotective father. His effortless charm and relatable performance made this film a huge hit, especially with family audiences. Santhosh Subramaniam is a heartwarming film that demonstrated Jayam Ravi’s ability to shine in feel-good, emotional dramas while also delivering a message about family dynamics and individuality.

Peranmai (2009)

In ‘Peranmai’, Jayam Ravi took on the role of Dhuruvan, a tribal forest officer who leads a group of young women to fight against foreign forces invading Indian territory. The film stood out for its unique subject and action-packed narrative. Jayam Ravi’s portrayal of a strong, socially conscious character earned him praise for stepping out of his comfort zone and highlighting issues such as discrimination and patriotism. His physical transformation and action sequences made ‘Peranmai’ one of his most impressive performances.

Thani Oruvan (2015)

Arguably Jayam Ravi’s career-defining performance, ‘Thani Oruvan’ saw him portray Mithran, a brilliant and determined IPS officer. Directed once again by his brother Mohan Raja, the film became a massive success, praised for its gripping screenplay and intense cat-and-mouse game between Ravi’s character and the villain, Siddharth Abhimanyu, played by Arvind Swamy. ‘Thani Oruvan’ was a turning point for Jayam Ravi, as it showcased his ability to handle a character-driven role with great intensity and established him as a serious actor.

For his remarkable performance in ‘Thani Oruvan’, Jayam Ravi garnered widespread recognition and accolades. He won the ‘Best Actor’ award at the Edison Awards, the ‘Performance in a Leading Role – Male’ award at IIFA Utsavam, the ‘Best Actor (Critics) – South’ at the Filmfare Awards, and the ‘Best Actor (Critics)’ award at the SIIMA Awards. These honors further solidified his reputation as a versatile and talented actor in the Tamil film industry.

Ponniyin Selvan: I & II (2022, 2023)

In Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, Jayam Ravi played the role of Arulmozhi Varman. His portrayal of the historical character earned widespread acclaim, as he brought a sense of grace, nobility, and depth to the role. The film, based on the epic novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy, saw Jayam Ravi share the screen with a stellar ensemble cast, and his performance stood out as a highlight in this period drama. His portrayal of a king in the making added another feather to his cap, showing his skill in historical roles.
