Career

Known for his strong story lines and sensible and realistic portrayal of women, Mohan's films have largely been clean family entertainment. He has a penchant for humour in his films, and his films have been rib ticklers even though they carry strong messages and handling serious themes. Mozhi is his career's biggest hit, followed by Payanam. His next film is a big starrer Sri Devi and Prakash raj under duet movies banner. A story around a medical college starring debutants who are doctors too.[3] The director worked under R. V. Udayakumar before he did his first film release, Azhagiya Theeye.

Now Radha Mohan is remaking the Hindi Film Tumhari Sulu with Jyothika in lead role. The film also features , Vidharth and Lakshmi Manchu in supporting roles.[4][5][6]
