Career

Radha Mohan began work on his first film 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. The film was later set for release during Diwali 1998 under the title of Ananthakrishnan, but still failed to clear financial hurdles.

The director worked under R. V. Udayakumar before he did his first film release, Azhagiya Theeye (2004). Mozhi (2007) is his career's biggest hit, followed by Payanam (2011).

Filmmaking style

Known for his strong storylines and sensible and realistic portrayal of women, Mohan's films have largely been clean family entertainment. He has a penchant for humor in his films, and his films have been rib-ticklers even though they carry strong messages and handle serious themes.
