Singer and celebrity judge Kenishaa Francis has publicly expressed high admiration for actor Ravi Mohan's performance in the recent Tamil film 'Parasakthi'. Her comments come amidst ongoing public speculation about her personal relationship with the actor.
"The Movie Runs Because Of Him": Kenishaa's Bold Praise
After watching a screening of the Sudha Kongara-directed film, Kenishaa Francis did not hold back her praise for Ravi Mohan, who plays a key antagonist. She stated that his screen presence was paramount to the film's success. "Whether he plays a hero or a villain, the movie would run in theatres only because of him," she declared during a press interaction.
She emphasized that no other 'bigger actor' in the cast, which includes Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, and Atharva, overshadowed his role. Kenishaa revealed that Ravi Mohan had prepared intensely for nearly six months for this character. "After watching the film, I get the impression that the movie has been made just for him," she remarked, concluding with, "Evergreen, ever best. He is number one in this movie."
From Discomfort to Admiration: An Emotional Journey
Kenishaa also shared her personal emotional response to seeing Ravi Mohan in a negative role. She admitted to feeling initial discomfort in the film's first half, finding it difficult to accept him as the 'bad character'. However, her perspective shifted dramatically as the story unfolded.
According to her review, Ravi Mohan completely owned the film's second half, a testament to the depth and impact of his portrayal. Her candid assessment has resonated with many fans of the film, who have largely agreed with her take on his performance as the antagonist.
Weighing In on Censor Delays and Awaiting 'Jana Nayagan'
Beyond reviewing the performance, Kenishaa Francis also commented on the controversy surrounding the film's delayed censor clearance. She offered a balanced view, stating that while laws must be respected, the creative challenges filmmakers face are also real.
"There is always a gap of understanding about who is right and who is wrong," she observed, noting that the crucial outcome was the film finally receiving certification and reaching audiences. Echoing Ravi Mohan's own earlier sentiment, she added that the Pongal festival season would feel complete only with the release of actor Vijay's much-anticipated film, 'Jana Nayagan'.
Her detailed review, blending personal reaction with professional critique, has sparked significant discussion among cinema enthusiasts, turning the spotlight firmly on Ravi Mohan's critically acclaimed performance in 'Parasakthi'.
