Clash between Prakash Raj & Radha Mohan

Radha Mohan one of the ace directors of Tamil and Telugu and Prakash Raj one of the finest actor of Indian cinema share one of the most successful relationship in Indian film Industry, Radha Mohan has till date directed 6 films for Prakash Raj's Duet films Azhagiya Theeye, Mozhi, Abhiyum Naanum, Payanam, Gaganam (Telugu) and Very recently Gouravam which was simultaneously released in Tamil and Telugu.

Radha Mohan has often spoken of his relationship with Prakash Raj in very high regard, "Prakash and I have been on a beautiful journey and we always enjoy working together. He gives me a lot of freedom as a producer. I don't think I will ever be so comfortable to work with any other producer,"

However the relationship has come under serious jeopardy after the miserable showing of Gouravam, where Prakash Raj invested huge amounts knowing well the fact that movie was being made with relatively newcomers. The relationship was deterred even more when Radha Mohan was made to wait for several hours when he came to visit Prakash Raj in sets of Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi.

I don't Need a Superstar I need an Actor - Radha Mohan

Radha Mohan is known for his offbeat movies like 'Mozhi', 'Abhiyum Naanum' and 'Payanam'. His recent movie 'Gauravam' has racked some good reviews. Radha Mohan was quizzed upon the reason why he doesn't go for the big actors, here are the excerpts from a recent Interview of Radha Mohan.


"I let my script choose the actors and not vice versa. If I have to work with a superstar, then I make it a point to cast one. Why do I need to work with a superstar if there is absolutely no need for his or her presence,Yes It is very important to have the right actor for the right script. One of the most common mistakes in the industry is mis-casting. I ensure I stay away from it, Nagarjuna was needed for 'Payanam'. The script demanded an actor who could pull off the role and convince audiences that he was a suitable pick. It was the role of a major in the army, and I couldn't possibly rope in a newcomer or a relatively unknown face to play the part, For a film such as 'Abhiyum Naanum', about the relationship between a father and his daughter, I didn't need a superstar. I needed an actor who could play the father's role to perfection.

"The story of Gauravam is about discrimination based on caste-ism,  Sirish has image of the boy-next-door and that makes him ideal for the role. I wanted an unfamiliar face to stand up against the issue because it would have an emotional connect with the audience, If a star actor would have played the role, then I would have had to rely on the commercial style of film-making to do justice to his image. I didn't want that to happen and, therefore, I cast Sirish,"
