Actor Ravi Mohan has surprised fans by signing a major new project just weeks after stating he would not act in films until his divorce proceedings were completed. The actor recently made headlines when he spoke emotionally about his personal struggles and ongoing separation from his wife Aarti, saying he would stay away from acting until he secured a legal divorce. However, a fresh announcement has now confirmed that he has officially joined Benz, a highly anticipated project forming part of the popular Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj welcomed Ravi Mohan to the LCU by sharing pictures from the film’s set and writing, “Welcome to the universe, Ravi Mohan sir.” The announcement quickly grabbed attention given Ravi Mohan’s recent vow about taking a break from acting. While the actor has not publicly explained the apparent change in plans, his addition to Benz has become one of the biggest talking points among fans. The film is directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan and stars Raghava Lawrence and Nivin Pauly in key roles.
Cast and Crew
Benz is being produced under Lokesh Kanagaraj’s G Squad banner and is expected to expand the world established through films such as Kaithi, Vikram and Leo. Nivin Pauly is reportedly playing the powerful antagonist Twin Fish Walter, while actress Samyuktha is also part of the cast. The film is described as a high-octane action drama packed with intense moments and fresh additions to the LCU storyline. The music is scored by Sai Abhyankkar, with a seasoned technical crew backing the production.
Despite his personal troubles and legal proceedings, Ravi Mohan’s work continues at full pace. Along with Benz, the actor is also making his directorial debut with a film titled An Ordinary Man and has wrapped up Karathey Babu. He additionally has projects such as Genie and director Karthik Yogi’s upcoming film in various stages of production. With multiple projects moving forward, Ravi Mohan’s entry into the Lokesh Cinematic Universe has raised fresh curiosity among fans, especially given his earlier declaration that he would not take up acting assignments until his divorce case reached a conclusion.
