Ravi Udyawar is given to big dreams after his directorial debut Mom, writes Raghavendra Singh.
After making his mark in the racy world of ad films, Ravi Udyawar has made a huge leap in the glitzy alleys of showbiz with Sridevi’s Mom. It was one of his meetings with Boney Kapoor that kick-started his journey. “I met Boney sir in 2014. He said let’s do something interesting with Ma’m (Sridevi). I pitched the idea of Mom to him and he loved it. He said the biggest task for you is to now pitch the story to Ma’m. She loved it too,” recalls Ravi. The film released in four languages including Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam besides Hindi. Reportedly, Mom happens to be Sridevi’s 300th film and 2017 marks her 50th year in films. It’s a landmark that Ravi will cherish forever.
