Why actor Jayam Ravi, whose ‘Bhoomi’ is ready for release, feels that the star value of an actor won’t change despite changing business dynamics
Introspection was the order of the day for ‘Jayam’ Ravi during the lockdown last year.

Sometime in the summer of 2003, around the release of a film called Jayam, I remember riding down the Kodambakkam flyover and seeing a huge cutout of the film with an actor I could not recognise.
Now, 18 years later, I found myself talking to the actor, one of the industry’s most reliable stars, about his upcoming release, Bhoomi.
“During this period, I think I have understood the kind of cinema my audience wants me to do. They have been accommodating of my experiments, and it is for them that I make my films,” says a confident Ravi, who has just made one of the boldest decisions of his career by opting for an OTT release for his 25th film, Bhoomi, which also marks his third collaboration with director Lakshman.
