Ravi Mohan Pauses Films Amid Divorce Crisis After Press Meet

ravi mohan said at a press meet on 16 May 2026 that he is not going to act in any movies or release any films for the time being. He tied that pause to a divorce crisis he said he is trying to resolve as his personal life gets back on track.

“I am a very quiet person. That silence became my biggest mistake,” he said, adding that people “took advantage of it and played their own games.” He said he had kept quiet for two years and that the silence made others think he was weak.

Two Years of Silence

Ravi Mohan said the press meet was the first time he had broken his silence publicly. He also said cyberbullying against him must come to an end, putting his personal decision to step back from films into the center of a wider dispute over how much of his private life has been dragged online.

“I was raised by a mother who taught me to respect women,” he said. “Even in my films, I have always given importance to female characters.” He added, “Yet now I am being humiliated as though I am anti-women.”

Children and Money

“They send bodyguards with my kids to school. I am not even allowed to see them. I am fighting only to ensure my children have a good future,” he said. That line shifts the story from image management to custody and access, because he framed the dispute around his children rather than his career.

He also said, “To this day, I don’t have a single personal bank account. I had only one joint account. Even if I withdrew a small amount, I would get an immediate call asking why I took the money. I suffered in silence despite earning,” he said. For an actor now pausing work, that leaves the immediate business question on his own output, since he said he will not act in any movies or release any films until his personal life is back on track.

Kaneesha Francis and Social Media

The controversy around him had already spilled into public view after social media posts claimed Kaneesha Francis broke her relationship with Ravi and that Aarti was behind it. In her own post, Kenisha said she was leaving Chennai and stepping away from music, therapy and social media because of relentless online bullying, manipulation and sorcery.

That is the pressure point now: Ravi Mohan has chosen to halt his film work rather than let the dispute keep defining his public output. For studios, distributors and audiences watching his next move, the immediate takeaway is simple — until his personal life settles, his screen presence will not.
