From Selvaraghavan and Dhanush to Mohan Raja and Jayam Ravi: 7 Iconic Directors Who Directed Their Siblings

Ravi Krishna made his acting debut in Selvaraghavan's 7G Rainbow Colony in 2004, playing the role of Raghu and garnering multiple accolades and awards. After the films Sukran and Ponniyin Selvan, he collaborated with his own brother on the 2006 release of Kedi, although this didn't affect the path of his career.

Kreshna made his debut as an actor in 2008 with the help of the film Alibhabha, which received great attention. Then he delivers a disturbing film, but only Kazhugu and Yaamirukka Bayamey manage to touch the audience's hearts. In order to make a movie for his brother Kreshna, director Vishnu Varathan decided to make a double hero movie in 2015. Therefore Kreshna and Arya's Yatchan costarred received laudatory reviews from critics, and Kreshana Potryal was greatly praised for what he did.

In 2005, Vikranth began his acting career in the lead role of Karka Kasadara. Since that time, he has consistently failed to select the right plot to achieve great success. So, in 2005, he made the decision to give his younger brother Sanjeev a chance at a debue, which came as Thaaka Thaaka.

Aadhi received widespread acclaim for his powerful performance in Mirugam, which earned him a significant amount of recognition. His subsequent picks of Eeram and Aadu Puli were the days he performed his extraordinary acting. The married couple Aadhi and Nikki Galrani made their acting debut in the brother-directed film Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka, although the film had little impact on their professional careers.

In 2001, Thenkasipattanam marked Mohan Raja's debut as a director. From 2003 to 2010, he collaborated with his brother on five blockbuster films, including Jayam, M. Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi, Unakkum Enakkum, Santosh Subramaniam, and Thillalangadi. Their combination films never bored the audience. For the first time in his career, Mohan Raja went to direct a major industry star named "Vijay" and was assigned his most disastrous script to date. Then, after a four-year hiatus, he teamed up with his brother once more to create Thani Oruvan, the best picture of his career.

Both Selva Raghavan and Dhanush began their professional lives in 2002 with the classic teen drama Thulluvadho Ilamai. Following that, he collaborated on the masterpieces Kaadhal Kondein, Pudhupettai, and Mayakkam Enna, all of which failed to capture the attention of the audience at that time. After 2011, they didn't work together again for 11 years, but throughout that time, each of them achieved outstanding positions in their own fields. Through Naane Varuvean in 2022, they reunited but failed to convince the general public.

Premgi Amaren proceeded to take part in all of Venkat Prabhu's films after the critically acclaimed Chennai 600028, which served as the director's first feature film. Premji and VP made an arrangement that either he would feature in his movie or he would compose the music for it. In line with his 12 films, Premji appeared in 10 of them while also composing two films, Manmadha Leelai and Party.
