'Parasakthi': Kenishaa Francis calls Ravi Mohan 'bigger actor' in Sudha Kongara directorial and Sivakarthikeyan starrer

Singer Kenishaa Francis has recently been in news owing to the rumors surrounding her alleged relationship with actor Ravi Mohan. She has now heaped praise on his performance in 'Parasakthi.' Speaking after catching a screening of the film earlier, the singer and celebrity judge was brutally honest about her opinion on Ravi Mohan’s portrayal of the antagonist, which she feels is paramount to the film’s success story. 'Parasakthi' is a movie helmed by Sudha Kongara featuring Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, and Atharva in key roles, along with Ravi Mohan as a significant 'bad character,' whose act may have motivated Kenisha Francis's responses.In a press interaction, reflecting on the film, Kenishaa made a bold statement about Ravi Mohan’s screen presence and contribution during the press interaction after the film. “Whether he plays a hero or a villain, the movie would run in theatres only because of him,” she said, adding that she did not feel the presence of any “bigger actor” overshadowing his role. Emphasising the effort behind his performance, she noted that Ravi Mohan had worked intensively on the character for nearly six months. “After watching the film, I get the impression that the movie has been made just for him,” she remarked. Summing up her admiration, Kenishaa added, “Evergreen, ever best. He is number one in this movie.”Kenishaa also candidly spoke about her emotional response to seeing Ravi Mohan in a villain’s role. She admitted she found it difficult to regard him as a bad character, particularly in the movie's first half. However, she changed her mind as the film progressed. According to her, no one but Ravi Mohan could own the second half of the film, a statement that shows the depth and importance of a character in the latter part of the film. Her review has been a topic of discussion among fans, a majority of whom have agreed with her regarding his role as an antagonist in the film. Beyond the performance, Kenishaa weighed in on the film’s delayed censor clearance, offering a balanced view on the controversy. She said that laws and governance must be respected, while also acknowledging the creative struggles filmmakers often face. “There is always a gap of understanding about who is right and who is wrong,” she observed, adding that the important thing is that the film has finally received certification and reached audiences. Reiterating Ravi Mohan’s own sentiment, she also remarked that Pongal celebrations would truly feel complete only when Vijay’s Jana Nayagan eventually hits theatres.
