Actor Jayam Ravi has turned 38 today. He has successfully managed to survive in the highly competitive Tamil film industry for 15 years now. Ravi made his debut with the film Jayam, the film that went on to become his identity in Kollywood.

Jayam the film was directed by his brother Mohan Raja. A remake of a Telugu hit of the same name, Jayam turned out to be a huge hit at the box office. Since then, Ravi has seen many failures and consistent hits, but he has always managed to stay in the good books of the Tamil audience. His counterparts tried their best to become the 'mass hero', but Ravi chose to stand by decent scripts. Not that he didn't try his hands at those mass films, but his attempts were not strong enough. He always chose to play to his strength, and it seems to have worked for this hero.

Take a look at the films that helped Jayam Ravi become what he is today. Jayam, 2003 Jayam came during a period when actor Vikram was ruling the industry with back-to-back hits, Dhool and Saamy. And suddenly there arrived Jayam, which became a sensational hit. The film raked in more than Rs 20 crore; a huge amount back in those days. All eyes shifted focus on the new innocent-looking hero Ravi, the son of popular editor Mohan. Santhosh Subramaniam, 2008 After establishing his name in the industry with remakes like Jayam, M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi and Unakum Enakum, Ravi sealed his place in Tamil cinema with Santhosh Subramaniam.

The film, which is a remake of Telugu hit Bommarillu, was directed by his elder brother Mohan Raja, who was also gaining popularity for his remakes. Peranmai, 2009 Ravi then went all guns blazing in Peranmai. Though the film was an actioner, Ravi was not the indestructible Tamil hero in it.

Rather, he was a forest guard belonging to a tribe. The role of this underdog was received warmly by the audience. Though the film, directed by SP Jananathan, was high on melodrama and preachy dialogues, it still turned out to be a winner at the box office. Thani Oruvan, 2015 Post Thani Oruvan, a lot of things changed for both Jayam Ravi and Mohan Raja. Till then, the success of their films was criticised because they were remakes of Telugu films.

But with Thani Oruvan, the duo proved that they are capable of churning out original hits too. Thani Oruvan, which also brought back Arvind Swami with a stylish makeover, made Jayam Ravi a hero on whom producers were ready to bet their money on.

It’s rather surprising to listen to a star who is deeply philosophical. Jayam Ravi is the sort of actor who seems to be content with his choice of scripts, irrespective of their results at the box office.

What explains your fascination for cop films? ( Laughs) There’s no fascination as such. It’s just that the reach is better, especially when it has a strong social angle. Right from Captain’s (Vijayakanth) era, these films have worked big time. However, Adanga Maru demanded this character — of a pure-hearted police officer who struggles to cope with the system. How do you show variation in your characters? Do you go by the director’s briefing or come up with your own ideas?
