In this film, Yogi Babu will be seen in the lead role, while Kenisha has appeared as a musician.

On Thursday, Ravi Mohan shared a video message on Instagram, letting fans know what to expect from the film.

He also teased an intro song for Yogi Babu, writing, “My hero @yogibabuoriginal intro song in #anordinaryman soon in theatres.. Thanks to my brothers @worldofsiddharth and @mannar_muthu. Nama @keneeshaa1 musical. But for now, ni lorda labka, labka, laung warga?.”

Kenisha was quick to respond to the post. Thanking Ravi Mohan for the opportunity, he commented, “Thank you for this beautiful opportunity.”

The update comes months after Kenisha took a break from social media following intense online criticism and trolling over her relationship with Ravi Mohan.

Kenisha announced the breakup

Back in May, Kenisha shared a lengthy statement on Instagram, revealing that she had decided to step away from public scrutiny surrounding her personal life.

“Dear all, I have said and done more than I could and it was unnecessary. I came into this story with love, I come out of it in silence. Some places are so consumed by noise, ego, judgment and manufactured narratives that goodness no longer has room to breathe. And when that happens, even love begins to feel an unwillingness to try to be human. For the story, but I now Understand something clearly – in a world addicted to spectacle, there is hardly any chance for kindness,” he wrote.

In another part of the statement, he said, “To the public, to the cinema industry, to the commentators, to the people who love him, dislike him, defend him, make fun of him, or claim ownership over his life – he is all yours now. There will be no more explanations. There will be no more defenses. No more fighting battles that I never had. People need a good chance to think that I was truly supported. The best that can be done, But I understand that this place is only for liars, deceivers and life-stealers, I release him with peace, love and complete detachment.

Kenisha also expressed frustration with the way people today perceive kindness and vulnerability.

“I wish the world would have allowed me to show what true love, loyalty and tenderness could do. But maybe this generation no longer trusts gentleness. Maybe destruction is easier to digest than devotion. Maybe people will always choose narratives made of emotion over truths made of sacrifice. But, there you go. I’m done proving it, you guys. To get it wrong, I’ve left Chennai, my music, I give up my therapy and everything that worries me for life.

At the end of her post, Kenisha said she was quitting social media because of “online bullying, manipulation and witchcraft”.

“Online bullying, manipulation and witchcraft is why I quit. And with that, I’m logging off Instagram and all social profiles until God wins. I ask all my friends, family and well-wishers to give me the privacy I need. To this day: Feminism, you win. Joy, you lose. Love and light. Kenisha French.”

‘Ravi Mohan is not a child’

Her statement came shortly after she uploaded and later deleted two videos addressing allegations and rumors about her relationship with Ravi Mohan.

In the videos, Kenisha denied claims that she had broken up a family and clarified that Ravi had initially approached her for emotional support.

“I broke away from my work in therapy and became a friend. Ravi Mohan is not a child. He knows who to talk to and how to live his life,” she said.

Kenisha also alleged that she was harassed online. “People are sending spies to Bangalore to find out who I married, what I went through and who I was,” he claimed.

He further spoke about his personal struggles and difficult experiences growing up. “I got married when I was around 18 or 19. At that age, I didn’t understand life very well. The baby in my womb broke and came out of my body. A girl who lost a baby in her womb – you think I would keep someone away from my children or my family?”

Recalling the early stages of his music journey, he said, “Singing for ₹ 500 in a bar has charged me a lot today. If you really want to come to me, come to my face. Don’t do it online. My calling is not cinema. My calling is not celebrity status. Please don’t make me feel like I need to give up on life.”

Kenisha and Ravi Mohan’s relationship

Kenisha became the talk of the town after Ravi Mohan publicly announced his separation from his wife.

The controversy escalated when his wife claimed that she was not informed about the separation in advance, while Ravi later accused him of mentally torturing her.

Amid the ongoing controversy, Ravi was often seen with Kenisha, who reportedly works with him as a mentor and is also a musician.
