He was born as one of the twin to music director Raveendran and Sobhana in Chennai.

However, he was conscious enough not to use his dad's influence anywhere at work and so joined as an assistant director to Shaji Kailas.

After working as an AD for about six films, he was all set to commit as a director himself which was when his dad Raveendran died.

After four years of delay, in October 2018, the film's title was changed from Ula to Chithiram Pesuthadi 2.

[5][6] After his first film, he fell in love with Sandhya who was working as an assistant director as well in Bollywood and married her on 23 May 2012 in Chennai.
