Career

Radha Mohan began work on his first film was Smile Please in 1996, which had dialogues written by his friend Babu, who had appeared in the lead role in En Uyir Thozhan (1990). The film was to star Prakash Raj in the lead role, but financial restraints meant that the film was later shelved.[1]

Mozhi is his career's biggest hit, followed by Payanam. His next film is a big starrer Sri Devi and Prakash raj under duet movies banner. A story around a medical college starring debutants who are doctors too.[2] The director worked under R. V. Udayakumar before he did his first film release, Azhagiya Theeye.
